Course work is a small portion of a doctoral program.
It takes years of independent study and research. At the end you have an oral exam where you prove that you are now not only knowledgeable in your field, but you actually understand your research at a level beyond your advisors.

so it wasnt a dumb statement.
I mean the post said getting a phd is not hard, which is wrong IMO.
Getting a phd is difficult for many reasons, in general, particularly when compared to the accomplishments of the average Joe. However, in the context of being a college student, it is much more about determination, time, and money than anything else. I agree with that part.

Again. There are probably a lot of exceptions, but it's highly unlikely that darryljames is telling the truth (history included).
I would love to know what I lied about on here. And Im not talking about some post I made drunk at 1 in the morning.

For whatever it's worth, I disagree with the OP's assessment of the student. I'm just speaking in regards to the ACT, which is actually an unknown variable for that.

So did everyone learn the same exact material that was given on the ACT?
Stuff like Algebra and Geometry? I would think by the time you're a junior in high school. And certainly by the time you're a senior.
I took Algebra in 9th and Geometry in 10th.
Science is just reading and interpreting graphs and understanding the scientific method. That's all covered before you're a junior.
English is grammar (Elementary and junior high) and rhetorical skills (looking at passages and answering questions).

This guy again.
Im white and I'm from the south. If I guy further north than Tennessee ore further west than Texas, I'm immediately a dumb redkneck racist piece of shite because I have an accent.
And it's not even strong. I'm usually thinking, wait til they hear some dude from North LA or Mississippi.

I get your sentiment for some inner city school where the kids are struggling etc., but that just doesn't hold water for a student with a 4.0 at a high school in any state. He graduated and took all of the basic classes, at least, that are required to do so. He made all As his entire career. If he doesn't have a moderately high ACT score, he has no excuses.

Not so subtle brag

I didnt argue this again. Culture was not the right word to use and I was wrong.
Posted on 5/19/16 at 9:02 pm to LordSaintly
i don't think the opportunity to listen to great music is something that is worthy of bragging
