Is this the way you would like to reach out to people by incriminating them and defaming them before they have even been given a chance to rebuke and justify what and why they were there in the first place? What gives you the authority to find them as guilty before proving them to be innocent or has America taught you that one is innocent until proven guilty? What gives you the right to place the law under your own hands and past judgement to these people as being in the grey zone before looking at your own back yard and please don't call the kettle black when you should be looking at your own pot. People may not have been as lucky as you to have gone to Ivy League universities as you deem them to be but at least they don't condemn you to silence and never ending illgotten justifications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-54283114783022010872008-02-18T02:32:00.000+08:002008-02-18T02:32:00.000+08:00Kian Ming have you ever heard of the proverb "Thos...Kian Ming have you ever heard of the proverb "Those who laughs laughs laughs last!"

If you meet someone who says that he or she has an MA (Masters of Arts) from either Oxford or Cambridge, remember that this is not equivalent to a taught or research Masters. Cambridge and Oxford has a tradition of conferring MAs to those who have graduated with a BA from these two schools. It gives you certain rights within the context of these two universities but is not a postgrad qualification. You can read more about it here (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/degrees/ma/) and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_the_University_of_Oxford). There's nothing wrong, in my opinion, with listing an MA (Oxon) or MA (Cantab) as part of your credentials but one should not give the false impression, especially to employers, that this is a postgraduate qualification. The only thing you have to do to get it is to live more than 7 years after you obtain your BA and pay a nominal fee.<BR/><BR/>If you meet someone who lists both a BA and an MA from either Oxford or Cambridge, be careful. There's no need to list your BA after you've obtained your MA (unlike if you've obtained a taught or research Masters from the same university). If this graduate of Oxford or Cambridge doesn't know this practice, then you might want to question if this person is really from that particular university.Kian Minghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615270889115130547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1164717620585266052006-11-28T20:40:00.000+08:002006-11-28T20:40:00.000+08:00I am working at I?TI (Guess where).

For our lecturers teaching undergraduate programmes, all of them will hold a masters degree. <BR/><BR/>I noticed there are lots of DBAs in some private colleges. They are lucky. At I?TI, if you have a DBA, you are not even allowed to call yourself a "Dr" or get the pay of a doctorate holder simply because LAN does not recognize DBA. <BR/><BR/>When submitting documents for LAN approvals, we actually need to submit lecturers' CV. So I don't understand how some of these colleges have FAKE doctorates.<BR/><BR/>By the way, check out this site:<BR/><BR/>www.breyerstate.com (IT looks so real that when I asked my colleague, a doctorate (graduated from USM by the way) with many years of experience in distance learning to check it out, he actually thought it is genuine distance learning provider... <BR/><BR/>By the way, I bought a book few years back to check on whether which unis are degree mills and actually spent more than 100Rm to buy this book <BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Earning-Degrees-Distance-Learning/dp/1580082025<BR/><BR/>It is pretty good.
