Is totally lost if we ask him a question for a problem
he can't refer to his solutions manual for.
Case 3:
Chabot College
M.S./PhD <I'm not sure so this case may not be applicable> teaches chemistry.
Gives a homework assignment from the textbook. To calculate the mass of an atom.Later says that you can add the mass of electrons + protons + neutrons to get total mass.
I disagree, - you must subtract the binding energy <mass defect>. he doesn't seem to understand. I ask him is it negligible? He doesnt understand.
Two weeks later apologises to me in private after having refuted me in public.
Also he doesn't seem to understand that any chemical bonding will have an associated mass defect.
Thinks <Paul> Dirac, is Daric.
Case 4:
California State University Sacramento
Ph.D. proffesor insists that a shift register configured to detect a finite sequence is not a state machine.
Bassically didn't know what he was teaching in his course.
I believe I have given enough empirical evidence.
Recently I was told that I could not take a course at UA because it was PhD
level <I'm a jr.>. I still haven't figured it out. I probably don't even need to take the course because I know most of the material <I read the text>.
I coul go on about the dismal state of university education, but I wont't. I
have ten more cases <involving M.S./PhD> which are just as bad or even worse.
High school can't be saved. It's gone.
Try to save the university. And not with mindless PhDs.
