I was responding to Harry's post that gave no explanation of what his
rankings mean...so I guess we're even. "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "NOYB" wrote in message nk.net... "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... "NOYB" wrote in message thlink.net... Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4 left-wing liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology" Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way. Ranks 45th in what way? Number of students enrolled? Percentage of successful job placements? Did they compare it to schools whose purpose is equivalent? Some psych programs are primarily aimed at clinical specializations. Others focus more on research. Who ranked Berkeley? I pulled that number from a 2001 US News report on school rankings. I couldn't find the original report, but here's an excerpt from Univ. of Iowa's website (describing Iowa's Psych program): * Psychology, doctoral program: No. 45, tying with Arizona State University, Duke University (department of experimental psychology), the University of Arizona, the University of California-Berkeley (School of Education), the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, the University of Oregon and the University of Pittsburgh-Main Campus (2001 ranking). Note: This ranking is for the program within the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' department of psychology. Oh well. I guess we can ignore this, since there's no explanation of what the ranking means. |

nk.net... In the context of the post I was responding to, it's irrelevant. You didn't challenge Harry's statistics and rankings, now, did you? Frankly, I forgot about his. For the sake of this discussion, YES, I would like to know how ALL of the rankings are done. I suspect that when this question is answered, it will be seen that the rankings don't serve to support Harry's side or yours. |

nk.net... When I attended Purdue, US News ranked the ME program 3rd in the country. A survey of deans of the Engineering schools across the country currently ranks it 7...but corporate recruiters currently ranks it 3rd. US News? Among the most conservative points of view. Who thinks they'd be purveyors of unvarnished truth when judging anything? |

Basskisser: If you are employed as an engineer as you claim, why the majority of your posts to this NG made during normal business hours????? When at home he's probably too busy tending to his plants to post . What an idiotic statement. Purely stupid. Go pull some wire, JoeTechnician. |

Basskisser: If you are employed as an engineer as you claim, why the majority of your posts to this NG made during normal business hours????? Very simple....well, maybe not for some..... As I've stated, in this forum, I'm self employed. I contract work. My choice. I make my own hours. Sometimes, I work from early afternoon, until well into the night. Sometimes, I get up early, and finish up early. All according to MY schedule. |
