To call Jill Biden’s dissertation thin gruel is an insult to gruel. Whatever meager substance puddled in Bob Cratchit’s miserable bowl at mealtime was a bountiful feast compared with this paper. I wrote yesterday about the problems with this capstone project, the foundation of her Ed.D. degree and of the insistence of so many in recent days that we must call her “Dr.”
Mrs. Biden’s only original research consists of interviews with two — that’s right, two — ex-students and a few colleagues at Delaware Technical Community College, where she used to teach, plus the results of a vacuous questionnaire she wrote that was returned by about 150 people who worked or studied there. Oh, and she also called two nearby community colleges seeking interviews about their retention rates. One of them wouldn’t answer the question; the other wouldn’t assign anyone to speak to her at all. Telling us about this misadventure serves no academic purpose, though it does fill up four pages of her generously spaced paper. The transcripts of her group chats with campus figures and colleagues take up nearly 30 pages out of 129. The questionnaires eat up another 18 pages.
The dissertation, Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students’ Needs, shimmers with the wan, term-papery feel of middle school, although in defense of today’s middle schoolers, they at least know how to use spell-checking software, unlike Mrs. Biden. Her 2006 paper notes that at Delaware Tech, her then-employer, a third of students dissolve into the ether every year, and in order to pad out her micron-thin proposals, none of which have anything to support them except her beliefs and anecdotal evidence (she suggests building a student center and beefing up the “Wellness Center” while increasing counseling and mentoring services), she shovels in piles of drivel.....

After Business I would put marketing, human resource management, accounting, finance, mangagement information systems near the top in level of rigor. Also, depending on whether economics is anchored in the business school or in the social science department, economics which include at least one year of calculus can also be fairly rigorous.
Joe lied and said the truck driver was drunk. He was not.

Let’s be honest, you have to be stupid to let Joe Biden drive your husband’s Corvette.

If you like some Lovecraftian humor there is a movie called “The Last Lovecraft” I found it amusing. It is a comedy. Don’t mess with the Star Spawn.

Jeff is an ordinary guy that is stuck at a dead end job with a boring life, but when a strange old man gives him an Ancient relic and tells him that he is the last bloodline of H.P. Lovecraft, He and his friend Charlie embark on an adventure to protect the relic piece from falling into the hands of the Starspawn and his minions that wish to reunite the relic and release Cthulhu back into the world.
She is insisting that people give her respect she hasn’t earned. She richly deserves ridicule for that.
I don’t understand all the Jill Biden hate. She will end up with the unpaid pain-in-the-butt position of First Lady if the election isn’t overturned (and it probably won’t be). The only people who gain from p*ssing off Joe Biden (by attacking his Mrs.) is the Left.
there are other fields as well. My son has 4 years if extensive post graduate study for his master of divinity requiring 2 ancient languages as well as theology and biblical studies with a healthy amount of public speaking and administrative skills to function as a pastor. Yet he only has a masters degree. There are others with bachelors or masters degrees that can run circles around some with doctorates. Those who are competent usually quickly earn respect while those who are pretenders out themselves sooner or later.
Isn’t the Ark ham University motto “Never summon up that which you cannot put down.”
What are you talking about?
You guys are over the top lately. A bunch of losers who look a shit on everyone else without adding anything to the world.
You get all worked up when someone makes fun of Melania, but dumping on Biden’s wife is OK.
Bunch of loser whiners.
Dr. Jill has a garbage piled higher and deeper degree?
But she seems SO much more intelligent than Melania....
The people who went into the harder sciences mostly believe in science. At least the English majors believe in English.

I agree. This particular attack on Jill Biden is nasty, gratuitous, and does nothing to advance the conservative agenda. I didn’t vote for Joe Biden - obviously! - but tearing apart his wife disgusting.
Correct. My oversight.
‘
They are positioning her to be another Michelle.
Build the Lie, craft the tables, get Ghost Writers and attack the Right.
Go on Ellen, pretend you’re something you’re not, and attack the Right
The View and 378 channels love her, so you want to add to that?

Well let me explain.
Her husband runs a grifter crime family, and she knows it.
She and her minions insist that she be called "Dr. Biden" to apply a false deception that she's an MD (and many Rats think she is).
She has been enabling her clearly ill husband to participate in political activities far beyond his physical and cognitive capacity.
I could go on, there's plenty more.

You defend Hunter, and everyone else connected to Biden.
Put down the Crack Pipe.

And Hunter is a hard working businessman.
Everyone sees through the BS posts
