DL Truth: Distance Learning Truth

Hey kids, want to be an engineer when you grow up?



No, not that kind. The one that builds bridges and stuff.

Well if you are going to the University of Illinois the guy to talk to is the world’s foremost self-appointed expert in higher education accreditation, stalker George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin).

WTF? What kind of advice can an engineering major get from a guy who co-teaches freshman fine arts classes? Let's see...

Always? Everywhere? You mean like the way UCLA grad school '"always" accepts those prior learning, test out TESC, COSC and Excelsior RA degrees??

Quote:The general requirement for admission for a U.S. student is a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution, comparable in standard and content to a bachelor's degree from the University of California. A scholastic average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better is required--or its equivalent if the letter grade system is not used--for the last 60 semester units or last 90 quarter units of undergraduate study and in any post-baccalaureate study.

Degrees which are not considered comparable include those granted on the basis of work completed at institutions which are not fully accredited and those granted on the basis of nonacademic prior learning, test scores, or other than organized supervised coursework in academic subjects.

Oooooops, the "expert" misses another one. Just the kind of guy you want advising engineers. "This bridge always stands up everywhere." Except when it collapses into a pile of twisted wreckage. Sounds like Gollum is well on his way to fucking up in yet another discipline. Definitely stay off bridges and away from tall buildings engineered by Gollum's students.

Coming soon to an interstate near you! Gollum does for engineering what he has done for higher education accreditation:

No, no, don't you understand? He's the "Chief" advisor. Him big Chief Brown Cloud, all others little injuns.

Eh?

Sounds like http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/
and yes, in case you doubt it IS a fake, texts, footnotes and all...a script assembles random chunks of esoteric peer-reviewed gibberish and that's all.

Quote:"There is both regional and national accreditation, and it is important for military learners to be aware of these two types of accreditation when making their decisions about school," Lovald said. "In certain situations, regional accreditation can help facilitate more transferability of college credits."

A more sensible statement...

Quote:Gollin said. "Degrees from regionally accredited schools will always be accepted everywhere."?

Can't be falsified...it's a sweeping statement...where's the proof?

Quote:George Gollin, a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a CHEA board member, said regional -- not national -- accreditation is the "gold standard in the United States"? for colleges and universities.

The guy faked his way into being a physicist, why not be an engineer as well?

Yeah, I hate it when that happens.




There's a Margaret Cho joke there somewhere.

They just don't make 'em like they used to.

I remember that show. It came on right after "I Love Lootsy."
