Academic ranking of world universities

[christian5327]

Do you have an address in the United States?

I think you are just a liar and a grandstander. I do not believe that you can attend an American university. The reason why you are in this conversation is because it is the closest that you will ever get to your pipe dream. Filipinos like to window shop because they know that the object will never be theirs. The more desire implanted in one's consciouness, the more they want to window shop. Just admit that you are uneducated, stop pretending to be something that you clearly are not.

You have not addressed my main attacks against you.

[arkheM]

Where did you attend school? I never stated that my opinions were facts. On the other hand you wanted so dearly to show that it was a FACT that Haas is better than Fuqua for a host of reasons. Not a single reason can be supported by 100% evidence. As for 3rd and 4th rate schools, it does not matter to me because I still benefit from the education that have received. Actually, I do not need diplomas to shred you in an argument. This is a fact, not opinion. You cannot support any of your assertions so just admit this to yourself. The more you hesitate to state the universities that you attended the less that I believe your statement concerning said attendance.

Ah, there you go. So, when you said that Duke is a more flashy name than Berkeley is, you were merely stating your own personal opinion, as it's not supported by facts or verifiable data. Well, I'm glad you cleared that up. Thank you.

Arrogance is projection beyond one's actual abilities. You presented yourself as a person that could handle a critical argument with constituent pieces. So, I took you to task on this but you have not fashioned a defense for both of my meta level points concerning accuracy and confirmation. So, this would make you the arrogant one, not I.

[christian5327]

Ah, there you go. So, when you said that Duke is a more flashy name than Berkeley is was just entirely merely your own opinion. It is not supported by facts, data or whatsoever. Well, I'm glad you cleared that up. Thank you.

When one does not support an assertion it is merely opinion. Where did you attend school in America?

All you had to do was refrain from the statement about attending an American school. Now, I am going to call you on it. It is my assertion that your statement is a big lie. I enjoy taking people to task, exposing them for their fraudulent statements and behavior.

Obviously, your critical reading skills and comprehension levels have missed many of the subtle nuances that I have made in my statements. One reason that I doubt you have ever studied at a university here is because your critical reading skills are subpar. I suspect that if you have taken the GRE, which I doubt, your score was below 550.

550 or less on Verbal.

Wew, I can no longer follow all this talk about Duke and Berkeley. May I ask how the Philippine condition relates with the issue? ^_^

I guess the spirit of this thread is why the Philippines is off the global ranking and what we can do about it.

I appreciate your attempt at following the dialogue. In a roundabout way it is relevant to the main topic of rankings. The Philippines must be less instructional and a bit more research oriented for the sake of its students across all its universities. Rankings are not set in stone nor are they hard objective facts about any particular school that is on or off the list. Though the country lacks the funds necessary to begin a slow climb onto the list, which goes beyond the top 100 universities in the world, the country can embark upon the first step which is to instill a more holistic overview of academics within its students. This holistic view includes research oriented activities at the forefront. In a typical US university, students are encouraged to think on their own by writing a substantial amount of papers, roughly 8-12 pages long on average. Such an approach allows a student a chance to see a bird's eye view of the academic process.

who cares? we all die. worry about where you're going next, this dimension, higher dimension, hell, animal womb, or death of soul.

Person 1: mas magaling ang school ko sa iyo. Person 2: ay hindi! mas magaling ang school ko kaysa sa iyo. i don't think this is the trait they are looking for for promotion into a higher dimension.

remember the story about jesus and the old woman where that woman gave 1 cent yata. The old woman never went to harvard or princeton or duke or berkeley. she never heard of lsat, mcat, gmat, ivy league o anupang entrance exam at kung anu ano pang at at yan. she was just a poor and humble woman.

Well, listen Mr. know-it-all, trying-hard, UPCAT-reject, Ivy-reject, Pinoy basher, American wannabe...

Your opinion does not matter here. What matters here are the facts which have proven you wrong, and exposed you of your immaturity and lack of talent, (among other weaknesses you've exposed yourself here of)...

Jesus and that old woman never lived in the intensely competitive, cutthroat global environment of the 21st century. During his time, the world had a few trading empires such as the Roman Empire, Han Dynasty in China, India, Sassanids, etc. Learning was essentially a tutored matter and credentials, research were irrelevant. Now, a country must have heavy research and academics in order to survive.

i used to think like this too. i advocated a heavy industry based, fast paced , eater culture economy.

Alright, you are entitled to your opinion. Still, the fact remains that you did not prove any of your so called claims that you wanted to pass off as facts. At least attempt to address both issues, even if you struggle:
1. Surveys and their validity.
2. Acceptance by both Berkeley and Duke. Can it be shown that ALL admittees to both schools would always choose Berkeley?

By the way, what is the UPCAT? Is that the entrance exam given to prospective candidates for the University of the Philippines? I am an American, not a poser or fraud.

What are my weaknesses and so called lack of talent compared to an opponent who has weak critical reading and POSSIBLY weak critical thinking skills? By the way, I never "try hard". I only believe in whatever that I can do naturally. So, while you struggle with your responses(believe me, I can easily tell), I write these freewrite responses and posts in an effortless manner.
Lastly, where did you attend school in the United States? If my opinion was worthless, then do you not think that there would be no person on pinoyexchange that either responded to these posts and/or not peruse the contents of this post? I would like to see your contributions to pinoyexchange. Please show me an article or two that you have written on this entire site. I would be fascinated to read your own learned contributions to pinoyexchange.

Please write in Standard American English as Google translator is not always accurate. Humility is universal in all times and all places. However, the intense pressures of globalization has now just started to exist. More countries are developing at such a rapid rate. India and China are experiencing phenomenal growth and will return to the world stage after a long period of absence. Other examples include the drive concerning technology, science and engineering. The world must shift into more innovative endeavors because of the political realignment caused by shifts as mentioned above and the economic sea changes brought about by the financial crisis of the late 2000's. Some economies will perish within two or three generations should competitiveness not be enhanced. Currently, the EU is experiencing crisis with Greece, now Spain and possibly Ireland. The imminent breakup of this economic union will send shockwaves to the rest of the world added to the decaying position of the United States. Any country within striking distance of the various alliances such as AESEAN, G8, etc. must ensure their survival through research, education, etc.

Not heavy industry based because that has come and gone, just like US Steel. I am emphasizing a blend of science, research in an Information Age that has been made accessible to more by the equalized playing field of the internet. A Philippines or Chile or a Vietnam can benefit from the internet but some of these countries must change from an instructionally based system to one that encourages, fosters research in its students and youth.

no, no, no youre not quite able get the gist of the topic. how do you put humility and competition in synthesis. you admitted that humility is universal but you did put how it plays a role in indusrialization

answer: you did not
