"What is life?", "Is this experiment ethically acceptable?", "Where is consciousness?" and many more questions could be approached from both directions. | |

"Displacement activity" at the emotionally hard parts of a PhD (experiment "fails", "boring" thesis writing, funding running out, advisor less attentive) is very common. I would suggest a long hard look at why you need to do this now and not after your PhD is complete. | |

You have study habits, problem solving skills and test taking magic at a much higher level than most people taking an on-line only program. I took an "executive masters" degree (i.e., one geared towards professionals working in the field). The professors often commented on how our much higher level of knowledge and practical experience matched with our piss-poor test-taking skills seemed odd. But, as one said "taking tests are those folks' job" | |

| Oct 28, 2020 at 23:38 | comment | added | user2821 | I did an unrelated undergrad program throughout my PhD as a hobby, and it was very rewarding! It is an advantage just to understand the expectations, knowing how to write, and generally experience of academia. I was rather relaxed about it. If my PhD project was in an intense phase, I'd skip e.g. a test, and do it later, accepting some average results. However, I never failed any unit and I feel that I understand the material. At the moment I'm writing a paper in my main subject, using methods I learned from my BSc. (My PhD is in 'hard-core science', my extra BSc in 'hard-core humanities'.) | |
