Glenski,

You are acting like a child

Asking 'eveyone' to boycott me...

This isn't your message board, Glenski, and you don't make up the rules.

And calling me names - I haven't called you a troll or any other names.

Your posting this reveals some not-so-nice aspects of your personality.

How old is this guy - in his mid '40s?

And he's acting like, 'This is my ball. If you don't do what I say, you can't play."

Real mature Glenski.

And Glenski, what are your qualifications - Microbiology?

Your a hypocrite.

I can't beleive you have the nerve to criticize other people.

Degrees done through the mail or over the internet are either: 1) Not recognized, or 2) given less credibility than degrees done in-residence and with a thesis component.


Not true. My university is an accreditted recognised university in the UK with 30,000 students.

http://www.bham.ac.uk

Not true, I get the same degree and jump through the same hoops that on-campus students do. Nowhere on the degree certificate does it say 'mail' or 'distance'.

And yes, your degree falls into these categories and based on what you've said about your program, I see other problems as well.


Yes I know there are problems with it and I deal with them.
better than doing nothing and wishing I had one though.

BTW why do you have to live near a university to write a 50,000 word thesis on your home computer?

Paul,

Many countries and schools: 1) Do not officially recognize degrees obtained through distance, or 2) Give them less weight.

At the doctoral level it's extremely imporant to get the right supervisor. Someone who you can do the whole 'mentoring' thing with. You aren't getting this.

You aren't getting this and that is a real big part of being in residence and attending meetings and conferences, getting a first-hand look at how academicians work together and being introduced to influential people in the field.

Again, I think you've gone about it the wrong way and maybe it'll hurt you in the future.

Paul,

Shocked Very Important!

WOW - I can't believe you wrote that!

Is that what the requirement is for your Ph.D - 50,000 words?

.



The only countries I know of are Taiwan and Saudi arabia. all other western universities (Australia, the US) recognise accrediited degrees from above-board institutions

Please show me schools who don't.

Again, How do you know what I'm getting? She can't write it for me and shes doing OK by me.

I will be in the UK next year to meet with my supervisor, who has a PHd and has written several books.

Well if you were in my shoes (married with kids), you wouldnt do it any other way.
