I am grading the theses of some students, and this is what one wrote (SIA stands for Social Impact Assessment): An ideal SIA should have its very clear goal, and from previous literature review, four common goals are being identified as described above. It is agreed that an ideal SIA should have them as its goal and be goal-oriented. An SIA outcome can be regarded as effective if it can achieve the goal statement that it has stated. 126 pages like this...  |

What sort of teacher posts his or her student's work on the web? Where's your respect? The student is yours I take it - maybe your teaching skills need looking at?

He wasn't my student. I just had to read his thesis.
Where did I ever write that it was my student? I just wrote 'the theses of some students'.
Can't you read?

Reading the extract from the thesis I would not say that the student was worthy of any respect at all.

You are grading the theses - safe to assume you are involved in some position of authority?
I think it is profoundly disrespectful, Old Mike. If I understand correctly, these theses are not published, not in the public domain, are still in the process of being graded-and yet end up on the friggin internet. That's an abuse. If I knew who you were and I were one of those students, I would make a complaint to the MOE.
I read a teacher's blog recently, where he referred to his female students as fat sluts - among other things he made references to them masturbating.
Disgusting. If that's the level of respect that teachers feel they can pay their students, they shouldn't be unleashed on them.
Not accusing you of the same level, Professor - but teachers, or "educational professionals" of whatever stripe you are Prof, have a duty of trust.

The thesis is, indeed, in the public domain. But certainly not published. Who would publish some crap like that??? And I didn't post the thesis on the internet. I only posted a passage. A very crap passage (granted), but still only a passage... out of 126 pages!! So I don't see where your problem is. And a thesis is an independent work, where the student is judged by his ability to work... independently. So the quality of his writing has nothing to do with the teacher. And he wasn't even my teacher. I would have failed him/her. |
