Their academic offering includes distance learning, professional certifications and basic courses on management/business. All the "degree/post-grad deg" offered are also based on distance/work learning. Hence, I am not surprised that its faculty members are not your typical academics. <BR/><BR/>ps: US way of doing things is not necessary the right way. :DWYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149881615500824835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1165361422764284592006-12-06T07:30:00.000+08:002006-12-06T07:30:00.000+08:00I agree it is unlikely that the degrees of lecture...I agree it is unlikely that the degrees of lecturers in the universities that KM selected above are not legitimate. <BR/><BR/>For those who are interested, all the degrees of UTAR staff including academic & administrative officers are listed in the prospectus that is given to all students that apply for entry to UTAR. Application for new admissions for the January intake has just started. It should be quite easy to get such a copy from the PJ office.

Maybe KM wants to have some experience as project leader and delegate the work across the globe?<BR/>Having said that, I had a look at Nottingham and Monash some months ago and very much doubt if there is fake qualification there. Was unable to get hold of info at UTAR though, which makes it rather difficult to assess its ambitions. <BR/><BR/>~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1165320558993092262006-12-05T20:09:00.000+08:002006-12-05T20:09:00.000+08:00wow.. to do a study on this is like a phd paper it...wow.. to do a study on this is like a phd paper itself..<BR/><BR/>the amnt of data and close scrutiny on their past publication, education, teaching experience, etc. will give u mountains of paperwork to filter through.<BR/><BR/>good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1165287248346339882006-12-05T10:54:00.000+08:002006-12-05T10:54:00.000+08:00Why dont you go for the professors cv and qualific...Why dont you go for the professors cv and qualifications first?
