Since YOU added the "I WANT TO" to my "Grow up !", it is clear that you are
confusing YOUR desires with your fantasies..

To be called a "geezer" by a adolescent idiot is a compliment..

Now why would I want to grow up? to become a biitter, ugly, lonely,
ego tripping, wannabe pretender like you?

Never made anything of yourself in real life, a total failure, so you
have to dress up in your uniform and go play mini god for 90 minutes.

You relish everytime you blow you little polished whistle. Well, it's
the only power that you will ever know and see. You get a boner
everytime you pull out a card, and if it's red, then it's "cream you
shorts time" for you.

Mummy's boy is a loser in life. Does she wash and iron her little
boy's uniform for him.....she must be so proud to have a failure for a
son.

The neuron activity within my thumb far exceeds the neuron activity in

For an idiot who has never met me..
You sure are fantasizing a great deal about me..
And I won't even touch your obvious ignorance about refereeing, wether it's
soccer or any other sport.
I'll just mention 2 points about refereeing
1) Just about ALL the referees, I've ever met, do it for the love of the
game and for the totally different aspect to refereeing the game that
refereeing is.
2) "Tin-pot napoleon" wannabees do not survive long on any sport field.
And the reason for that is very simple
The players pay your refereeing fee.
If you piss them off too much, you don't get assignements in the
future.

But hey..
Any moron can blather nonsense, as you so aptly demonstrate..

Sure..
Whatever you say..
But there is a point you seem to miss
Unlike losers like you.
I do NOT spend my time INVENTING drivel about other people.
The fact that you confuse your drivel with reality, makes a clear definition
of who is the REAL loser..
Let's see if you're smart enough to figure it out..
(But here a clue for the idiot...
It's not me...)

Same academic standards at UCI as there are at Berkeley and it's almost
as hard to get into. There, you are now up on the academic standards at
UCI.

By the way, how many Nobel prize winners has UQAM produced? A quick
search of the Nobel website indicates NONE. The same search done for
UCI, indicates 2, one of which is in physics which it seems our friend
Orion is about to enroll in for his double major. Gee, I wonder whose
school might have higher academic standards? At least he'll get taught
by a Nobel prize winner, and not some wannabe loser at a second rate
school.

That's probably good, since I don't have balloons.

I do indeed.
You said that I'm an English major. I am not an English major. Contradicted.
You said I'm getting desperate. I am not. Contradicted.

If you REALLY want me to I'll dig out some old book of mine and tell you the
definition of 'Proof by contradiction but it usually consists of finding one instance
that proves a statement invalid. For instance

U = All people named Peter with the last name inital S
W(x) = X is a smelly wanker

For all 'P' in the universe of discourse 'U', W(P) is true.
// Universal Quantification

This is easily proven wrong by contradiction. Find a Peter S. who isn't a smelly
wanker. However,

There exists a 'P' in the universe of discourse 'U' such that W(X) is true.
// Existential Quantification

Obviously you fit the criteria perfectly, and this statement cannot be proved wrong
by any means.

Been there.

> I would have failed you in my logical thinking class with such a

Judging from your posts I'd have bailed because of the appearance and demeanor of my
professor, and proceeded to add a class taught by someone more intelligent.

None that I know of
But it should also be noted that research is not the main mission of UQAM
It's primary purpose is EDUCATION.
Also UQAM has not been around as long as UC.

So what's the pertinence of your question ?
Does having Nobel prize winners automatically filter idiots from the student
body ?
Not the last time I checked..
By the way, I have met a lot of idiots with high GPAs, SATs and other test
scores, who have learned how to do well on tests, but couldn't otherwise
think their way out of a paper bag open at both ends.

As to Nobel prize winners teaching anything less than graduate students..
Don't make me laugh.
Your odds are better at winning a state lottery.

It should also be noted that Nobel prize level research is rarely of direct
benefit to undergrads and even most grad students..

As to what Orion is claiming to be taking as curriculum
For all we know, he could also be taking creative basket weaving..

Any other balloons you want me to burst for you, turd-fucker ?

Too bad the education available "where you come from" has major gaps in it..
Discrete math is only a mathematical subset (you've learned about Set Theory
I hope) of logical thinking.
Logical thinking appears in other areas, such as Philosophy
(And I hope you've also heard of Philosophy
But just to clue you in, look up what the Ph PhD stands for..
That particularly version of thinking has been around BEFORE
Discrete Math was defined)

I aslo did not "say it" as you claim.
I did not even "write it" as you imply

Too bad that the basic premise for the above was COMPLETELY WRONG.
Surely you know what happens when the basic premise in a logical argument is
wrong ?..
I'll let you look it up.
Oh by the way..
During arguments such as these, the literal application of mathematicl rules
of logic, without taking into consideration literary form, will induce you
in error nearly 99.99% of the time.
That's something you can pick up in a good course of semantic analysis.
I STRONGLY suggest you take such a course ASAP..
You are in dire need of it..

They didn't hire me for my demeanor..
They hired me to teach..
Ironically, the wusses who bailed went on to take easier subjects where they
could more easily get good grades that education-wise were meaningless.
My students, the ones who stayed, listened, worked and learned got my
respect
And even with my lousy demeanor:
I still managed to be rated in the top 5% of all the teaching body..
Many of my students most happily came back to my classes to help with
the following years' student projects..

"Delusions of self-importance"
That's good..
Actually the more correct term would be "Delusions of Grandeur"
It was a term coined by some Frenchman, originally "Delusions de
Grandeur"..

Actually the only sensitive spot I may have is an aversion to blatant
stupidity and ignorance..
And you seem to have both in spades.

Once again you are confused by your ignorant assumptions..
And obviously you are unable to read more that 3 words in a row without
getting lost and confused..

Your premise that referees are out for
"an ego trip to project their inadequate personality on them (the
players)."
is so far out in left field, that you are actually out-of-bounds (to use a
metaphor)..
In any sanctionned soccer game there are actually 3 teams on the field.
The 2 teams playing, and the officials team..
Notice that I say officials in the plural. Since there are usually 3
officials in a FIFA/USSF-sanctionned soccer game.
Multiple officials is also true for most other sports these days..
I'll also repeat the point I made earlier that you obviously did not read..


I'll just mention 2 points about refereeing
1) Just about ALL the referees, I've ever met, do it for the love of the
game and for the totally different aspect to refereeing the game that
refereeing is.
2) "Tin-pot napoleon" wannabees do not survive long on any sport field.
And the reason for that is very simple
The players pay your refereeing fee.
If you piss them off too much, you don't get assignements in the
future.

You really should demosntrate that you are more than just a stupid little
troll..
But I am more thatn happy to helpo you prove that your are nothing but a
dumb troll if that is what you wish..

We're talking about University of California at Irvine, not UC in
general. UCI was established in 1965, so it has been around only 4 years
longer than UQAM.

An excerpt from the UCI Chancellor's web page:

"Since 1965, the University of California, Irvine has been distinguished
by a spirit of innovation, with strengths in research, teaching and
public service that match regional, national and international
priorities. Today, with about 1,150 faculty and nearly 22,000 students,
UCI is Orange County's third-largest employer with an annual economic
impact that exceeds $2.35 billion.

US News & World Report ranks UCI among the nation's 10 best public
universities. Achievements in research, humanities, arts, management and
social sciences have also garnered numerous high national rankings for
UCI's schools. UCI is the first public university with faculty receiving
Nobel Prizes in two different fields - chemistry and physics - in the
same year."

How's that for academic standards? Among the 10 best schools in a field
of thousands.

No, but it helps to reform them, by effectively telling them to either
get with the program or lose out on the opportunity for a 1st rate
education by a University with the capacity to produce Nobel Prize
winners.

You are digressing into flaws that have existed in worldwide educational
systems as far back as anyone can remember. Really not relevant to the
discussion because we are talking about standards, not students. You are
trying to divert attention away from the fact that what you implied
about UCI and academic standards is false. Further, that in comparison
to UCI, UQAM is definately second if not 3rd rate.

>

Not true at all. Although it appears the distinguished Dr. Reines,
winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1995, has become a Professor
Emeritus and no longer actively participates in teaching, he last taught
an undergraduate class in Spring 1999
(http://www.reg.uci.edu/registrar/online_soc.html) as he did for at
least one term per year since his appearance at UCI in 1966. However, he
is still present on campus and probably delivers the occasional guest
lecture (as Emerites often do) which all undergrads are welcome to
attend.

As proven above, Nobel Prize level research is of direct benefit to
undergraduate students as Dr. Reines's close collegues still teach
undergraduate and graduate classes, as is required of all active UCI
professors. We are talking about a learning environment enriched with
the legacy and presence of Nobel Prize winners.

Thanks. He really should learn what he is talking about before he tries
to type it out. You should be proud to be at UCI. Now if they could just
do something about the parking and administration, it would be an even
better school.

If you have time one day, you should check out some of the stuff in the
main library, they have (or maybe had), a nice UCI history display. It's
really interesting to see the rapid development of the now sprawling
campus. When it originally opened it looked like a dirt farm, with
students tromping off to classes along dirt paths in what really
amounted to a desert.

It raised some issues as to the real validity of those numbers..

You seem confused with the process of an undergrad education and the process
of getting to a Nobel Prize..
They are two separate paths that are totally unrelated..
It's like trying to relate a NASCAR champion having an effect on the quality
of Driver's Ed in a High School..

If you say so...
Except for a little detail..
Standards unfortunately are closely related to many things, including
student quality
Schools such as UCI, are in actual fact undergrad mils, to (much too often)
subsidize other programs.
In actual fact, the quality of a university education depends far more on
the student than the school..
The schools purpose is to aid in the process.
Sadly there is another factor that comes into play, particularly in the US,
which is that too many schools cultivate an image to appeal to the public
and the media.
In many cases, the image is often quite separate from reality.

Well that's nice..
And exactly how many undegrad students got Dr Reines from the whole
undergrad student body ?
Also there is another issue..
Being smart enough to get a Nobel Prize is no garantee of being in any
way competent in front of a classroom...
Trust me, I've had the experience many times..

Once again, you are confused...
Nobel Prize winners and their immediate circle of colleagues are sadly not
usually competent to teach undergrads.
It takes a major mental shift that most of them are just not flexible enough
or willing to make on a regular basis.
That's the equivalent of asking a World Cup level referee, to take time out
to teach a intro class in the Laws of the Game.
It's not a question of their not knowing said laws
It's a question of them using said laws in a totally different ways than
some new referee needs to learn
I've had the experience of sitting in classes taught by Noble Prize
candidate and winners
I've also had the same experience with International level Soccer referees.
The problem is the same.
The great majority of them are not functionning at the same level as some
individual just learning the basics..

Ironically in soccer, when you give up doing the levels that you cannot do
any more, you can retain your badge as an Emeritus referee..
But once they are Emeritus, they are not as involved in the purer form of
their art/science, and they effectively can back off working at the heady
level where they erarned their recognition
And then they can effectively, start relating their experience to those
coming up in the field.
But by that time, they are not necessarily up to speed of what is happening
at the edge of the enveloppe of their field.

I didn't realize that "worldy knowledge" required my knowing about a Nobel
Prize winner doing 1 undegrad course per year at UCI.

That's nice, how did UQAM rate in that poll? If we take the numbers and
correct them for French Universities, does UQAM gain any ground? I
didn't think so. How about if we just put the two into a field of two?
Somehow, I just don't think UQAM will come out on top. But I know you
know that too, which is why your bragging about teaching at UQAM is so
funny; there is just nothing to brag about.

Where did that come from dumbass? I would say that the possibility that
an undergrad can be taught by a nobel prize winner would far outweigh
that of the possibility that they may be taught by a loser at UQAM. But
gee, that's only my opinion, it could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Enhhhh. Wrong again asshole. UCI has millions of dollars to put into
undergrad education including, but not limited to the latest equipment,
the best teachers, and access to resources which undergrads in lesser
schools like yours could only dream of. UCI has a proven record of
results when it comes to education, specifically in the area of
engineering and medical sciences. Their budget for administrating all
the money they get is probably more than the total budget of UQAM for
all programs. ie. they spend more on figuring out how to spend all their
money than UQAM has in total. This translates to fantastic opportunities
for undergrads to work with equipment on a routine basis that undergrads
at UQAM only get to read about in books. Sorry, but UCI wasn't rated in
the top ten for nothing, regardless of how mere academics like yourself
like to denegrate the rankings.

So you figure you are better than Dr. Reines? Where is your Nobel Prize?
I looked, but I didn't find one with your name on it. But lets forget
about Dr. Reines's Nobel prize (and your lack of one) for a minute and
get back to the issue at hand. You were implying that UCI had
questionable academic satndards, and I have proven, without a doubt that
UCI has far better academic standards than UQAM. So regardless of your
questions, we can see that Orion is getting a far better education and
has better opportunities than anybody at UQAM. Case closed. You are a
pompous asshole, and Orion is getting a great education which I hope he
takes full advantage of.

When we talk of academic standards, we are not talking about basics.
UQAM barely has the resources to teach what happened 5 years ago, let
alone bring students into the 21st century! Get a grip. Tell me that an
undergraduate psysics student that has an opportunity to work on a
particle accelerator doesn't have a better opportunity than one that
just gets to read about one in books (See this URL for details
http://www.ps.uci.edu/physics/reuprojects.html), and then fuck off
because I won't believe you.

A career in Physics is a little beyond that of a soccer referee. But, in
case you fail in physics at UCI you can probably go for a career in
soccer refereeing as they have a pretty comprehensive athletics program.

The point being that if you can't do a reasonable amount of research so
you know what you are talking about, you should shut your stupid
arrogant trap.

I spank you yet again. This is getting tedious and too easy.

And oubvioulsy you've done all three to have first-hand knowledge whereof

But it's an interesting mix..
A car park attendant is no different from a cashier..
As a matter of fact, so is a traffic warden..
But there is a great difference between a referee and the others.

And thank you for your FIRST display of arrogant ignorance...

Bzzzzt
Wrong answer..
There is your SECOND display of arrogant ignorance
I was talking about FIFA/USSF games which is a FAR BROADER category than
just plain FIFA International games.
But while were at it, I have been to a couple of youth tournaments that
qualified as FIFA sanctionned, where most of the games where refereed with
only 3 officials..

Also, the 4th Official at games is an OPTION not a requirement
And the 4th official has rather limited duties..
Feel free to download the laws of the game at:
http://www.fifa2.com/scripts/runisa.dll?S7:gp::67173+refs/laws
And just do a search on the word "fourth", to see how limited they are

Which is why the referee and the assistant referees each have one law
describing what they do, and the 4th official is only mentionned in the laws
and as an addendum

Thank you for your THIRD display of arrogant ignorance
So how many referees do you know personally..
I now quite a few, both soccer and hockey.
And I can tell you that you have NO CLUE as to the personalities of
referees. Sometimes reading second-hand reports are not the best way to
get informed..
Except naturally when you are looking to justify your prejudices..

Tssss...
It is really hard to explain anything to a linear-minded idiot..
Think about it..

You may not realize this, but teaching is NOT something any idiot can do off
the street..
You just have to think about the difference between the good and bad
teachers you've had in your life.
Also some teachers can be trained to be effective and successful as teachers
Others could be trained every day of their lives and still be less
competent that a parrot..

Then take into consideration that the qualities needed to get a Nobel Prize
are not exactly the same that can make you a good teacher..
Just think in terms of a Micheal Jordan, Wayne Gretsky, Tiger Woods..
They might not have either the interest or the talent to pass on what made
them successful as players..
Just think in terms of the successful coaches in sport.
How many were successful players ?
Very few.
Ad the reason is simple..
Coaching is a totally different mind and skill set from playing.
The fact that there had been a Nobel Prize teaching undergrads at UCI, is a
unique thing.
But it's NOT something that you can use after the fact to claim today...


Ah..
The old idiot argument that size is best..
Such a flawed argument...
Size CAN BE an advantage.
But it's no garantee of success.
That fallacious tenet is a cause of a great deal of mistakes by the US and
Americans in general ALL OVER THE WORLD..

I wil give you three examples of this..
The war in Vietnam
The war on Drugs
Prohibition
In all 3 cases, tons of money and ressources were thrown at the problem
And yet the situations in all 3 cases deteriorated to such a point, that
in all 3 cases the cause was and is lost..

><snip> of list of irrelevant references.

1) Did I ever claim to be better a Dr Reines ?
Did I make ANY remark disparaging Dr Reines in any way ?
Feel free to quote me.
Obviously you are so busy foaming at the mouth, you have stopped
reading and thinking..
Come back when you're preparedto do the second rather the first.

2) And by the way, If you think carefully about the question, I am
willing to bet that there are a whole bunch of things that just about ANY
person in the world can claim to do better than Dr Reines..
Just because he got a Nobel in one thing, does NOT automatically make
him better in other areas..
At best you can claim that his odds are better.
But that's it..

3) Did I imply anything about UCI academic standards ?
Or did you just shut down your brain to better be able to foam at
the mouth..
Since you have in no way COMPARED academic standards between 2
schools, you have demonstrated NOTHING about which is better academically...
That's just simple logic..

4) By the way..

Never met an award that was able to get of it's shelf to teach
anything..

That may be true and it may not..

And yes, he should to the best of his ability get his money's worth

Shows how much you know..
You should find out what soccer referees can make in European and South
American countries..
There was a refere in Chile or Argentina who would get a cut of the gate
because every time he officiated, the atendance increased drastically..
He was making more than some of the professional players.

AS to being prepared by UCI for a career in refereeing, dream on...
Since they do NOT offer USSF training, I seriously doubt that anything they
offer in the UCI athletics department would prepare anyone as a referee..
Particularly since collegiate soccer regulations is not even USSF or FIFA
sanctionned.

You keep assuming I'm American. But, if you find America so bad, and
that society will collapse because they don't have the same attitude
towards teaching as you do, you should really hightail it back to
Quebec. Which I'm sure is a much better place to live (I case you don't
pick it up, I'm using sarcasm for this one).

A teachers value can only be measured by the accomplishments of their
students. Without even having to look it up, I can be pretty sure UCI
students accomplish far more than UQAM students.

Virtually everybody I am real life friends with has at one time or other
been invited to teach at a University.

Think about what you are saying mull it over for a bit, and then come
back and tell me what retired players do when they stop actively playing
the game.

If America was really committed to that war it would have been easily
won. In fact it is a fine example of what happens when not enough money
is thrown at a problem.

The war on drugs is another one. If enough money was thrown at it, it
would be won. However, it is not something I agree would be a useful
thing to do.

See war on drugs.

We are talking about education here, not wars. Schools with more
resources are better schools.

No, but you won't admit when you are wrong, and in this case you are
dead wrong.

But he's better in Neutrino Physics than anyone in the world, and he
teaches (or taught at UCI). He is an example of the calibre of
researchers and teachers that UCI attracts, and translates directly into
opportunities for students, both graduate and undergraduate.

No you just don't see it. A top ten school in the US vs. a school that
nobody has ever heard of. I'm not even sure UCI would recognize UQAM as
an accredited institution. I'll have to check on that, I'll put it on my
to do list.

That was a completely dumb interpretation, I will give you the benefit

their awards (including teaching awards)

I think you don't understand it.

Just admit you are wrong. You know it, I know it, everybody else that
read my post knows it. You said a stupid thing, I called you on it, you
are wrong. Period.

I'll take the lead here. I know ABSOLUTELY nothing about soccer. They
play it at UCI so somebody must be refereeing it, maybe the referees
learned how to be referees at UCI, maybe they contract out for them, I
just don't know, and frankly I don't really care. So maybe I am WRONG
about being able to get a referee degree/certification/whatever there.
But they do have a great athletics program.

Because you appear unable to spell correctly (or even close a lot of the

No, I picked up on the fact that you're from Ontario.
And Ontario had picked up the Americans style of social promotion in their
public school system more than 40 years ago..
Quebec did it a little later, because most the the Quebec Ministry of
Education were a bit fearful of the "American Invasion".
I knew a bunch of "educators" in both Ontario and Quebec because of family
relations, And I rememeber the heated debates at family gatherings about
exactly that subject...

Accomplish exactly what ?
So according to you, the teacher teaching basket weaving to a university
football player who subsequently goes out and signs a $20 million footbal
contract is worth more than the professor who teaches a 22 year-old how to
teach kindegarden and if lucky make $30,000 a year ?

This reminds me of a story, which I never had a chance to verify, so it
could be urban myth.
It goes that over a period of 20 years, an inordiante number of NHL players
came from a specific poor working-class neighborhood of Montreal.
Research found that the ONLY common factor amongst them was that they had
the same elementary teacher.
And apparently this teacher was a hockey nut.
To the point that she used hockey as a major source of examples and problems
in her teaching. And that she used tickets to games as a reward for the kids
that exceeded expectataions. And that through her, these kids, were able to
have access to the current hockey heroes, which according to the stories
occured during the late Toe Blake and early Scotty Bowman eras.
And these kids got so motivated by her love of the game, that a
disproportionate number of them ended up in the pros..

That's what I call a REAL teacher.
Far to many who stand up in front of a class are not teachers.
They're "lecturers" and "class managers"
They stand up and deliver the curriculum, and not much else.
That's not teaching.
And sadly most universities, have "lecturers" and not "teachers" to give
undergrad classes..And it's most probably quite true of UCI...

There is no real accomplishement or achievement as a teacher, when you are
teaching to a group that has been culled to do the work required.
The real teaching is done elsewhere..

To me a real teacher, is the one who goes to Afghanistan to teach girls to
read and write., Or who can take the tough kids who believe thay have no
future and shows them that they not only have possibilities, but that the
only limit isone that they define themselves..
Compared to that, the instructors at a place like UQAM or UCI, are
accomplishing nothing at all..

Really ?
It's a good thing you used the word "virtually"..
It's such a broad qualifier, that it virtually applies to everyone on this
planet..

Oh with what a BROAD brush you paint..
But that is why your responses are suche weasel responses
You are quite correct that most coaches are retired players
But how many of them were "successful " players who made to higher levels of
the game ?
VERY FEW..

Are you going to tell me that he taught Physiscs 101 ?
I doubt it.
Maybe he taught mechaincs 201 ?
Or Electromagnetism 301 ?
I still doubt it.

Once again you paint with the BROAD brush..
For very obvious reasons that you are glossing over, he wouldn't have been
teaching something not related to his expertise
And Neutrino Physics is a very small and specialised subset of the field
His exposure to the student body, was most likely VERY, VERY limited
(But feel free to dig up old course calendars to prove me wrong)
So I ask again
How many students did he actually teach per term ?
What proportion was that number relative to the complete student body ?

You are COMPLETELY wrong..
The referees that do NCAA and other college games are usually USSF referees
who were trained by USSF
Because College soccer is NOT sanctionned by USSF
Getting to referee College is a bit like joining a private hunting preserve
You have to be invited.
But 99.99% of college refs were trained by USSF.
All they did was learn the NCAA rules, which are only slightly different
from USSF
NISOA is one of the bodies involved with College Soccer refereeing
The individual schools have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with training the
referees used in College games for the very simple reason, that it
eliminates the posssibility of accusations of impropriety because a referee
"belonged" to a particular school...
Actually the same is true for most if not all College sports
The same is true for High school.

Well,
That's too bad..
You want to read my stuff, you'll have to live with my spelling errors.
And ragging on about something that cannot be changed just shows that
you have other issues to deal with..

In Ontario, at least when I was in school, policies were more or less
set by the local school board. I knew a number of kids who failed,
mostly due to behavioral problems (not able to concentrate in the days
before Ritalin, and such other problems), not many mind you, but they
did fail.

I would say it depends on your operational definition of
accomplishments, but I'm perhaps being too general. I didn't mean
monetary accomplishments as a be all and end all of accomplishment, but
you seem to see it that way. I don't really know how many football or
other sports players have come from UCI, frankly their teams aren't that
good (because it is an academically inclined university, not a sports
mill). However, there is more to an athletics program than just
producing football players. You aren't going to go far in a Sports
Medicine program without education in Athletics (you can review their
program and facilities here
http://www.sportsmed.uci.edu/staff_toc.html). So even the lowly football
player gets a good education from well qualified teachers as a spinoff
of the sports medicine program. So, in a way teaching a football player
to become a good football player and not get injured is an
accomplishment.

I have to agree with you on that point, and, for once, it doesn't really
matter if it's true, because it illustrates an ideal (quite well
actually) not a boast.

UCI has a more or less open door policy in regards to student access to
professors. All professors are required to keep office hours, and any
student is free to get "one on one" if they so choose (probably true of
most universities). If a student chooses to blow away the opportunity of
office hours, that's their problem. The whole undergraduate experience
is designed to weed out the disinterested. Typical 1st year undergrade
required courses will have a hundred or more students, many of whom drop
out when they realize the difficulty level of the subject matter, and
the amount of work involved, this has nothing to do with teaching. As
the years progress class sizes get smaller and that is where the real
teaching takes place. All universities are like this especially for the
broader disciplined subjects (Psychology, Engineering, Computer Science
etc.). That's just the way it is. As a student progresses in his career,
he is in a position to get more out of his teachers. One of the basis
for promotion of a Professor at UCI (and the UC system in general) is
how many students they graduate, and how many masters/PhD. students they
produce. They can have a great research resume, but if they don't teach
enough quality students they don't get a raise. However, this is not
another form of "social promotion" because there is a tight system of
checks and balances in place which prevents a professor from just simply
passing a student. The system is a little complex to go into here, but I
can say that teacher evaluations are collected and taken seriously. Poor
evaluations go on a professor's record as do good ones, and the raw data
is kept for 5-7 years to track a professor's progress of
improvemnt/decline. The same is done for TA's before they are invited
back.

I hate to admit it, but I am forced to agree with you again (maybe you
are finally coming around and behaving like a reasonable person). I read
a really good book by a teacher teaching in the Jane/Finch corridor in
Toronto. It should be required reading for all those that would dare to
teach. (I just can't remember the name of the book or the author).

If just one instructor were to instruct one student which went on to
find a cure for Alzheimer's disease or Cancer they would have
accomplished plenty.

OK. Since moving to California, I have made 7 of what I would call
"close friends" 5 of whom either do teach at university or have taught
at university, one is an artist/art student and the other was a
librarian (they are teachers too) now working in private industry. So,
depending on whether you would classify the librarian as a teacher,
virtually all (6/7) my real life friends have been invited to teach at
university. The librarian is a difficult one because he was an expert in
rare books and book restoration, and has given seminars on such, but not
as a for credit course.

Just off the top of my head: Patt Quinn, Cal Ripkin Sr., Glen Sather,
Billy Martin, and I'm not even much of a sports fan.

First, I must apologise It appears, after doing some more research on
Dr. Reines that he died in 1998 and therefore could not have taught in
1999 (obviously this is also why he is no longer teaching). Some of the
pages about him were out of date. The last undergrad course he taught
was 1997 and was an undergrad thesis course.

No. The undergraduate course he last taught was called a "199" which is
for a small group of students (usually between 2 and 10 seniors) to work
together or alone on a research project under the direct supervision of
the professor. Sometimes this can include working directly with the
professor on HIS research in his lab, or could be a thesis type project
where the student constructs an hypothesis and sets about proving it
using whichever resources the professor makes available to him. The one
I was most impressed with at UCI was called the "Electric Vehicle
Project" (not related to the nobel prize winner) where students worked
alongside a retired professor on problems related to producing and
maintaining fuel cells for electric vehicles. Seems Toyota and GM were
pretty impressed too because they donated some electric vehicles to the
cause. Here is an URL for some students resume who apparently worked on
the project: http://www.eng.uci.edu/ieee/Resumes/My%20Resume.htm

See above. However, in answer to your question, he bagan at UCI in 1966
so would have taught literally 1000's of undergrad students before he
even won his nobel prize. This would have included a good number of
undergrad courses.

It can easily be changed with a spell checker and you know it.

No shit..
That's a true accomplishment..
Taking 4 years to teach a football player not ot get hurt..

Sounds exactly similar to UQAM
Except that more emphasis is put on teaching.
Cutting edge research is not necessarily required to be a good teaching
school..
And when I was there, teaching was the first priority
At least in the Math & Comp Sci department.

All Math & Comp Sci Instructors who made the lower 50% of the total UQAM
evaluations were put on short notice, and someone was assigned to oversee
their class work..

As to the behavior of a reasonable person, you are in no position to pass
judgement on that yourself..

The problem with that posit, is that it would be hard to identify which of
the teachers had the key effect..
Was it the 1st grade teacher ? or the Intermediate Algebra and Trig teacher
in grade 9 ot maybe an instructor who was able to consistently make a light
bulb go off in his head in English or History
And finally, that approach also tends to reduce the value of the input made
by the student..
Teacher's are like farmers.
Their job is to plant seeds.
Most seed will just grow up to be average plants..
But every once in a while a seed will grow into something extraordinarily
unexpected.
Maybe because of the teacher who put it there, or maybe from some event in
the life of the student..
There is really no way for an outsider to be able to tell.

To abuse a military temr
Maybe you just fell into a "target rich environment" :-)..
But I suspect, you are the exception and not the rule..

Well.
I actually did something similar with my Systems Analysis students.
Instead of teaching them the fine art of flowcharting which was the course
before I took it.
I approached it from the point of view of the Analyst being a Consultant who
not only has to identify a problem, but then decide if the problem is
solvable, then sell the solution as a cost-effective project before actually
going in and doing it..
I was lucky to have a bunch of business, large and small who were willing to
hand over small enough projects to be handled in this fashion
As word got around, after a few years, my available project list grew so
long that typically more than 80 were not even used on a term-by-term
basis..
Many of the students also got contracts or jobs to complete the projects.
Pretty heady stuff for graduating undergrads to already be working with and
getting paid by businesses in their chosen fields before their name is even
inked on their diplomas..

But again, thoses 1000s represent what percentile of the TOTAL count of
students passing through UCI during that same period ?

<sigh>
You insist, but sadly it isn't so...
As I mentionned elsewhere, since I am unable to distinguish the correct from
the incorrect because my brain shows me what it remembers to be correct.
For example,
If I write "taht" or "that", and then come back to proofread, I am
completely unable to see the difference when the problem kicks in..
Then if I use the spell-checker, for a while it will only contain "that",
but sooner or later a "taht" will creep in.
And then the spell checker with come back asking which of the "that" or
"taht" is correct..
Then a "tajt" will creep in
Then a "tsht" or a "tsjt"...
And so on and so on..

Now compound the problem with wrting in 3 languages

I can usually cath the errors if I type slowly enough to be able to see the
individual letters appear in sequence..
But I often do not watch the screen as I am touch-typing..
And therefore I will miss things, and subsequently not see them
afterwards.

This is how I ended up with a spell-checker file exceeding 25 gig

Too bad that I ALREADY know from repeated experience, that a spell-checker
will not help me for long and become more of a problem than my problem
actually is..

If the football player is going to make $20 million it certainly is. The
point is, no matter what you teach it is important to somebody if you do
it well, or did you miss that?

At UCI the students get taught not only by top notch professionals, they
have top notch equipment as well.

I will. I remember the cover of the book, it had a wall with "The
Boomtown Rats" scrawled on it in either spraypaint or chalk.

I don't think 1st and 9th grade teachers instruct about the vagueries of
research on Alzheimer's disease. Research like that is done only in
universities, and so the grade 9 teacher is out of the loop.

Who cares as long as it has the desired effect? Nobody at UQAM is going
to find the cure for Alzheimer's disease but somebody at UCI might.

Yes, I am in a "taget rich environment" but I am smart, and I attract
people like that, otherwise, they wouldn't be my friends. They like me,
and I am up to speed with them. They can discuss things intelligently
with me and I respond intelligently. In the process, we learn things
from each other. When was the last time you got to help a real scientist
with statistics?

Yes, and it's the norm for UCI students if they're bright enough and
take their studies seriously, but it's not a given which is the way it
should be. That's why Irvine consists of mainly high tech companies. It
certainly isn't because of the cost of living which is quite high.

Who cares? They got taught by the best in the field.

You hide behind the disability. As Dirty Harry would say "A man's got to

I have met a lot of people who claim to be reasonable..
Most people consider themselves "reasonable"
But one has only to look at the actions of such "reasonable" people

Really ?
Yet the 1st or 9th grade teachers are the ones that:
motivate people to go into medicine or to drop out
that teach you work habits or let you get away with goofing off..
that teach you the basic math or lab skills that wiil be used in later
work
You don't think that such skills are without effect ?

Education is a road traveled with many stops, twists and turns.
To claim that early steps along that road has no effect on the ones that
follow, is naive at best..
To claim that early preparation has no effect on latter succes goes agains
ALL the evidence that is currently accepted by most educators.

And you can state that categorically ?
How do you know that no one is working on Alzheimer's at UQAM ?

Such a claim is stupidly arrogant at best..
But frankly, I am not that surprised that you are foolish enough to make

Considering your last claim


"Who cares as long as it has the desired effect? Nobody at UQAM is going
to find the cure for Alzheimer's disease but somebody at UCI might."

You are not that smart..
At best your arrogantly stupid..

Hello ?
This whole discussion is about your claim that the whole student body gains
from the presence of a Nobel Prize winner on campus..
Apparently to you this is an osmotic benefit, even thought the near majority
have hardly any contact with an individual who taught a specialed graduate
class and has died since...
You say


"Who cares? They got taught by the best in the field."

Apparently the students had NO ACCESS to the best of the field..
Your claim does NOT stand for the GREAT majority of UCI students

I don't hide..
If I did hide I would DENY it's existence..
On the contrary, I openly admit its existence..

I do know EXACTLY my limitations
What offends you, is that I don't consider you worthy enough to take
the extra effort and cost of paying for a proof-reader so that YOU are not
disturbed by MY problem..
Actually that just shows that you really are not only an insensititve

See above. You just simply aren't capable of understanding anything that
isn't explicitly spelled out to you. You are playing what they call a
game of "silly boy". A silly boy will, when told the sky is blue, will
counter with "no the sky is grey" because it is cloudy at that

Well now, it appears people like me, and they don't like you, so I would
say I have people to back up my claim and you don't.

No I don't. There is really nothing that you learn in the early grades
that prepare you for a life of researching anything, except teaching you
to read and write and do arithmatic.

The same "educators" that produce students that can't read and write.
The same educators that go on expensive retreats to Cancun instead of
using the money to teach the kids or at least make their classrooms
comfortable. Yeah, I believe what they say.

That's much better than being certainly stupid.

It appears from a quick google search that nobody at UQAM is working on
cures or even basic treatments for Alzheimer's, but there does seem to
be some sort of daycare worker training in the sociology department
there.

Why is that? A university with the capacity to produce a Nobel prize
winner (or in UCI's case 2 Nobel prize winners) also attracts better and
brighter faculty members than second and third rate universities. The
students, therefore, get taught by those that are among the best in the
field. This is what makes Harvard Law school a better law school than
Whittier Law School (in Orange county California), and makes Harvard
Business school better than Devry. You would be hard pressed to deny
this.

It would be interesting to find out how many papers on Alzheimer's
disease research were presented by UQAM faculty at the recent
neuroscience conference in San Diego.

See, you're doing it again. Trying to hide behind your disability and
using it like a smoke bomb to cloud the issue that you are lazy. And
please, tell us all what this mysterious disability is, I'm dying to
know.

Wow..
What a BROAD generalisation
But so what ?
There's a whole bunch of people who like Bin Ladden..
That some people like you, proves nothing.
As to tryinh to make that claim, that because "peoeple like you", your claim
has any leg to stand on..
Well, it's just another demonstration of "turd logic"..

Obviously, you've had problems with the reading and writing at that level..

There is quite a lot more that you learn in the early years

Oh dear, another stupidly pretentiouns generalization..
If this is the level of education you got, to achieve your ability to
"think", as demonstrated here..
You have my sympathies..
Fortunately, most people do not confuse administrators with educators..
And from there, to smear all educators and aministrators because of the
abuses of a few, just demonstrates again, your own limitations

Back up your statements with facts, not conjecture or allusions. (I

Peter, you failed to answer this question, again. You constantly
allude to the "Fact" that you have something similar to dyslexia, but
never state what it is. If what you "have" is real then there would be
a name for it. If you were the 1st to have it, then it would be named
after you, aka Silly Sally Syndrome"

You always allude, never stating the facts, you try to give the
appearance of intellect, but the real fact is that there seems to be
none as evidenced by you writings, name calling, false aspersions,
etc.

So to reiterate; you have something similar to dyslexia, you have
taken math engineering courses, you had lots of schooling. No degrees,
no timetable, no name for your disease. Retired, yet not retired,
possibly off on disability. On and on.

Pure simple logic would have it that, you sir, are a fraud!

I guess my quick example wasn't worth that much, but only because you

everybody else in this group "got it". Better get that neural tube of

Ask somebody what color the sky is, 9 out of ten people will say blue,
and the tenth is the silly boy who gives some other answer just to get

It says what it says. Again, you are trying to use your falacious tactic
of clouding the issue so you don't have to admit you are wrong. Face it,
UCI is a better university than UQAM, they have better teachers, higher
standards, better equipment, and the capacity to produce Nobel prize
winners which ultimately benefits the students.

Here you go again. Quote yourself. It was a post you made to Orion. But
it was just a case of you putting your foot in your mouth again by

Yeah, but at least people like me. My logic proves a lot about you
because people don't like you. So far, I've seen people I have never

But it is your fault, because you didn't understand it and failed to ask

Is that how you treated your students? If so, it kind of explains why
you no longer teach.

Fuck are you stupid. We were talking about you playing silly boy not a
debate about the various shades of the sky or the flatness or lack of
flatness of the earth. This is yet again another example of you trying
to divert attention away from the central argument. This lame tactic may
work with others, but it doesn't work with me. Would you have perhaps
prefered that I just simply said you were playing silly boy without a
proper explanation of the rules of playing silly boy?

You obviously don't understand. For an english major or accounting
major, "better equipment" would be a better library. Without a doubt, I
can tell you that a UCI student has access to more library materials
than a student at UQAM could ever dream of. Try and think outside the
box.

Look it up. Again you show your inability to think about anything other
than literal meanings. Let me spell the gunfighter thing out for you:
You try to argue a point without the proper resources. When you said
"the odds of an undergraduate having access to a Nobel prize winner is
like winning the lottery" you had not done your homework and were
soundly beaten in the argument by somebody that had. In other words, you
are showing up at a gunfight with a pointed stick. Is that clear or do I

I'm willing to bet they are not. And they are certainly not annonymous.
You can contact most everybody in this group via email. I do not stalk,
and I do not harass. If somebody else does, that's not my problem, but
I'm not going to let them do it to me, so I use a "handle" My email is
valid, and the only time it wasn't was before I got a freemail account
so I could avoid spam.

Last time I checked, a day had 24 hours. There is plenty of time for a
child to learn things from both his friends and his parents outside of
school. School is a place to warehouse children while their parents are
at work, during which time they are taught how to read, write and do
arithmatic and a few other things. Anybody that thinks otherwise has
some idealistic utopian dream that will never come true.

Oh please! You are just showing your arrogance here. The human race has
evolved just fine without the help of the school system and parents that
think like androids.

> are NOT organized,

The parents are organized well enough to raise kids that end up just
fine. Not everybody will raise a child that becomes Colon Powell, but
that in no way invalidates the organizational ability of any parent.

School performance has nothing to do with reality. It is an artificial
measure invented by educators to make themselves feel important. Yes,
it's a problem if "Johnny" can't read or write, but that's a failure of
the teachers not little Johnny's parents. Teachers get paid to teach
Johnny to read and write. If they can't do that, they shouldn't be
teaching.

Perhaps so, but if teachers did their jobs properly, kids would be able
to read and write etc. It's not up to teachers to teach logical
thinking, just lay down the basics and let it go from there. Kids learn
logic through interaction with others.

Music should be taught by parents, it has no place being taught in
primary school and should be an extra curricular activity in higher
levels.

They still have friends they can learn from. That is what play is for

They come home aroung 1630, and go to bed aroung 2000.
That puts about 8 hours in school versus less than 5 at home...

Also, very sadly, in far too many homes, that parents:


are NOT able to think logically,

are NOT organized,


do NO plan, but instead life off the cuff
do any real work,
know how to stick with it...
ANd the proff of that is evident in the low performance of students in more
than half the schools of any country...

One example of thinking logically in elemntary (grammar - such a British


term) school ?
Well let's see...
Simple artihmetic, is basic training for thinking logically
Spelling, is also basic training in thinking logically..
Sentence contruction is another..

Music lessons are another..

By the way, what about all thoses kids who spend their lives growing up in
boarding schools, where seeing their families occurs during summer and
holidays..

Are you seeing that because they, for all intents and purpose have no
"family life" compared to the rest of the kids....
Where do they pickup all those things that you allege, they learn at "


taught at home and via experience."

LONG BEFORE....
I have friends who teach grade 4 and 5.
And guess what.
Their student's do "RESEARCH PROJECTS"..
SO where are those kids acquiring their "research skills" ?
IN grade school..

Well such ignorant insults from an ignoramus are to be expected..
It's really easy for you to be educated..
Go back and finish your elementary education..

Well the fact that I feel no need to be "accountable" to an anonymous twit
like you, obviously bothers you..
It bothers me not at all..

So keep stewing in your juices..
At least it keeps you busy..

So what ?

the sun revolved around the earth..
They were proven to be wrong as knowledge increased.
That fact that you need to fall back on such an old canard as wether the sky

Feel free to prove what you claim....


By the way..
In an accounting class, what exactly would be the "better equipment" ?
Ditto for a class in English composition.
As you can see, the premise of "better equipement" is where the fallacious
argument resides..
Ditto for the other arguments.
Too bad....

There you go again fantasizing about being a "gunfighter"..


Too bad your powder is wet...
Since you're the one making the accusations..
It's for you to support them
I don't have to prove anything about your accusations.
On the other hand, since you cannot support your claims, that clearly
demonstrates taht you really are full of shit..

People like you ?
Glad to hear it..
The very thought of being "liked" by something like you or your friends
is offensive,
I'd rather be told of being liked by a mosquito with malaria.

As to having you or those like you for a friend..


With friends like you, who needs ennemies..

As to all those people, you've never heard of..


I'm willing to bet that all those anonymous posters are more likely just
a few with multiple sigs..
The sicko stalkers and harassers of usenet, like you, tend to do such
things..
Otherwise why hide who you are..

By the way, the above tactic of yours is a classic tactic of bullies when

Obviously you are not only stupid but illiterate as well...
1) If you read what I wrote above, you will see that I used military time
which clearly recognizes a 24 hour day..
2a) I also factored in sleeping time.
Something that you so suddenly (and conveniently appear to have
missed)
Last time I checked, you were blabbering about the amount of sleep
needed by the average person..
Are you telling us that now this factoid is apparently suspended, to
satsfy your need to do another demonstration of your stupidity ?
2b) By the way, most kids need over 8 hours of sleep a day. Some can
require up to 12 hours,
3) I am really sad that for you, school was a warehouse..
This sad fact is readily apparent in your postings..
I must consider myself fortunate, that that was not my case.
4) Your last remark is a sad commentary, about this country
It is exactly your kind of ignorant attitude that is the reason why
the educational system is in disarray, and not providing quality education
for ALL residents of this country..

(And I know quite a few)
I am sure they will be more sad to see the blatehrings of another
ignoramus..

Try again, stupid..
The human race really started forging ahead when education was made
available to more and more members of the human race..

But thank you once again for another clear demonstration that your school
experience was more warehousing than education..
To verify my statement, you should go talk, off the record, to teachers of
inner city poorer neighborhood schools..
The ability of a child to learn is directly proportional to the quality of
home life..
Where parent's do NOT value an education, the children do not value it
either.
And that is a primary condition for scholastic failure..

By the way, being called arrogant by the ignorant is no insult..

Never heard of "Colon Powell"(sic)
Was he a doctor ?
Maybe he was the guy who invented the colonic ?
By the way, what about the parent's who are so well organized that their
kids end up in jail before they even become 18 ?
How well organized were they ?
What about the parent's of children who drop out before high school, yet
have been demonstrated (far too often) to be smart enough for university ?
Have well organized were they ?

You are so busy, trying to attakc me, that you are completely blinded to the
fact that you are writing like an imbecile..
Actuallly, that is not much of a change from the rest of your posts..
Now is it ?

Really ?
Oh let me savour this latest one of your idiocies..


"School performance has nothing to do with reality"

So now we may conclude that ALL the blather about the "performance of UCI",
has noithing to do with reality..
Oh but this is so rich...
But this is no surprise, coming from an idiot who confuses "teachers"
with "child-warehouse managers"

So the fact that Johnny doens't ever crack a book at home has nothing to do
with a lack of reading and writing skills ?
Try again dummy..
Reading and writing are acquired skills, just like thinking..
And sitting in an overcrowded class will not teach it to you do any of
that by osmosis
It is learned by practice..

And you are quite right that to many idiots like you are confused with the
idea that

Ah yes the old,


"Kids learn logic through interaction with others"

Like what the kids learn in gangs. Right ?

Never heard of the expression
"You can lead a horse to water..
But you can't make it drink.."
Have you ?

The same is true of an education..
Education is NOT acquired through osmosis
Logical thinking is also NOT acquired through osmosis..
(Just look at you for an example of that truism)
I can lay out the basics of reading, writing, arirhtmetic and any other
subject you can name.
But if the student just sits there and does nothing with it.
Then they will NOT learn...
And anyone who believes otherwise is an ignorant mutt
Now since you have declared earlier that schools are nothing but
warehouses..
You are obvioulsy a believer of education by osmosis..

Oh really ?
What if the parent's have absolutely no musical skills ?
Does that make them the right teachers for the job ?
(I am amazed at the amount of stupidities you are willing to
write..)
By the way, music is another of those skills, like learning foreign
languages, that have been demonstrated best learned before the age of 10..
And do you know why ?
Because the human brain is most receptive to learning new languages
(including the language of music and mathematics) before the age of 10,
after which the ability diminishes with near exponential speed..

Too bad that once again research demonstrates that you are just an ignorant
mutt..
But feel free to do some research on the subject.
That is if you don't presume acquiring such knowledge by osmosis..

Playing nintendo doesn't teach you logical thinking..
Playing, let's sniff glue or paint, doens't teach you logical thinking..

Obviously, this was the kind of laissez-faire education you had..
Cause you sure haven't learned logical thinking either..

You are truly an ignorant mutt..

But hey, any moron who claims. that logical thinking can be picked up by
osmosis cant' be that stupid..
Riiiight ?

The only area where you deserve "reverence" is in the depth of your
ignorance
I think it's sad that you need to buy yourself the title "reverend" to prop
up your ego..
But hey, whatever makes you feel good about yourself is a small drop in
a VERY, VERY LARGE and EMPTY bucket..

Oh I got the stupidity of your example and shredded it without a second
thought..
But remeember, you are the idiot who declares elsewhere:
"School performance has nothing to do with reality."
All, while in a thread where he is claiming that UCI is a better school than
another because it has a resident Nobel Prize winner..

Your name suits you so well
You think like a turd..

The central argument was that supposedly UCI is a better school that another
because it has a Nobel prie winner and possibly more equipement..
This from the same idiot who declared elsewhere:
"School performance has nothing to do with reality"...

Too bad that you are reduced to insults like "silly boy"..
So does that soothe your so small and so badly bruised ego ?

Oh please !
How stupid can you get..
Exactly what kind of "library material" do you need for an English
major ?
And who are you to declare that UCI has a better library than the UQAM
libraries ?
Are you presuming once again ?
That seems to be something you do rather often..

Too bad that you are unable to think within or without the box..
And you're too blinded by your arrant ignorance, to even realize that
you are so badly boxed in that you dont even know where the box is...

But feel free to presume as much as you want..
It won't make you right..

After all, you did give us the seminal answer to this discussion
"School performance has nothing to do with reality"..
So, get back to us when you return to reality...
Case you're nowhere near reality in your recent posts...

Once again..
It is YOUR claim that I said so..
Since you are unable to substantiate it..
The lying dumbfuck is YOU..
I have no need to disprove your claims that you are UNABLE to support with
EVIDENCE..

As to the Nobel Prize winner teaching undergraduates, you had to retract
yourself on that one..
Don't you remember ?
You ended up declaring he taught a graduate class.
Son I guess my statistical claim still stands.

As for the stick.
You have been firing so many blanks..
That I don't even need a stick to beat up on you..
I just have to use your very own words..

Too bad that you live so far from reality, that you are too stupid to
realize it..
But hey, your the turd-for-brains who wrote..
"School performance has nothing to do with reality"..
So in that context, Your NObel Prize winner's effect on undergrads is also
part of your "fantasy" having nothing to do with reality..

What can I say ?
Don't even need a stick at this "gunfght"
The moron "gunfighter" forgot to bring bullets or even a gun for
that matter..
All you are able to do is swagger around as if you're wearing a gunbelt and
point your finger and say bang-bang !

I didn't realize I was dealing with the moron of alt.2600....

No loss at all in my book..
I'm not the idiot "gunfighter" running around going bang-bang whit my
finger..
You are..
