Qualifications

An IBM executive card or a card from any other large corporation willing to enter into a lucrative commercial contract with the university. The very special “plastic paddy” connection substitutes for a commercial commitment.

If you do not have an Irish name or a commercial connection, then you can ride bareback on the grading couch with an LL&C professor. Subject to ten satisfactory performances you will receive your degree and a paternity order or free abortion.

Requirements

Business experience - No course attendance necessary.

Dissertation

Provide a legible copy of your company’s technical processes or operations manual. If you have ever written a job process instruction, then you have written your doctoral dissertation. Don’t worry about gobbledygook, that’s part of the deal under the Easy Rider plan.

Or, why bother to write a dissertation at all?

Accept this one-time discount offer for dissertation research and writing. You can get a guaranteed plagiarism-free dissertation written by a professor at a very reasonable price. Four billion web pages scanned with antiplagiarism software. If the dissertation scan report shows more than 8% matching content, then it is revised free of charge. [Dissertation Help]

Commencement

Easy Rider PhD graduates must have successfully defended their thesis and submitted an approved final copy of it to the graduate school - all prearranged by your Easy Rider thesis advisor.

Your advisor will provide a signed letter and arrange approval by the H&SS dean so that you can take part in commencement exercises. You can even rent specially designed Rensselaer regalia for your graduation. Invite your grandmother and extended family to your oral defense to cheer you on.

IBM executives now earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year after enrolling
in the H&SS/LL&C Easy Rider Scholarship Plan.

With your Easy Rider credentials you can make even more money
as an RPI clinical associate professor.

Sample Easy Rider Dissertation Abstracts

Applicants who fear that their corporate manual would not qualify as a dissertation should read these abstracts filed by LL&C/H&SS and accepted by RPI administration. Both Dissertation Abstracts International and ProQuest Digital Dissertations published them. The first “dissertation” disappeared from RPI Folsom Library shelves several years ago. Perhaps the librarians in their embarrassment never shelved it.

Abstract #1: The needs of the information society have thrust into prominence those who produce the technical information needed to work with computers. As a consequence of society's need for technical information, those who develop and produce that information are called upon to translate the technical capabilities of complex computer systems into a form that enables readers to perform needed tasks. Since the information they produce is an integral part of the product, it follows that these "information developers" must work as an integral part of the product-development team, not as post-facto wordsmiths who clean up the writing done by product developers. To function in this capacity, they need an information-development process that is consistent with the product-development process. They must adapt their writing skills and strategies to the product-development environment in which they work, while at the same time meeting the needs of their audiences, a group that continues to grow in number and diversity as the use of computers evolves. Developing information in this environment is not simply following a set of rules for communicating correctly, but is a process for converting detailed technical information into information that enables users of high-technology products to do the tasks that they want or need to do; it is not merely describing the structure of those products and the functions that are available. Rather, it is a rich, detailed process that involves gathering requirements; setting objectives; producing specifications to meet those objectives; producing drafts according to those specifications; editing, reviewing, and testing those drafts; producing final versions of the information and distributing them to customers; updating and redistributing that information in response to product changes and reader response; and measuring and assessing the quality of the information that has been produced and the process used to produce it. While the process is well defined in many of its aspects, it also possesses many implications for further research and development efforts by [real] academic researchers and industrial practitioners alike.

Abstract #2: In light of the significance of the tutorial as an introduction to the computer for many new users, it is important to understand how we can develop effective instructional material. The purpose of this study is to determine if we can use findings from research in programmed instruction to develop online tutorials, and to determine if students learn more using computer-assisted instruction than programmed instruction. The tutorial designed for this study teaches elements of the BASIC programming language and simple editing procedures on the IBM Personal Computer. The independent variables are step size, response mode, and medium; and the dependent variables are success rate, posttest score, and completion time. Forty students at a 4-year liberal arts school completed the hard copy version of the tutorial, and 40 students from a 4-year technological school completed the online version of the tutorial. An additional 16 students from the liberal arts school also completed the online tutorial. As hypothesized, active, constructed responses have a significantly greater affect on participants' learning of the instructional material (as measured by posttest scores) than passive, multiple-choice responses. Findings also show that participants who complete the small step size versions of the tutorials have a greater success rate (answer more questions correctly as they go through the tutorial) than those who complete the large step size tutorials. There is no corresponding relationship, however, between step size and posttest scores. In other words, participants who complete the large step size versions of the tutorial score just as high on the posttest as those who complete the small step versions. Results also indicate that in this study, for the instructional material tested, participants who complete the online version of the tutorial score higher on the posttest than those who complete the hard copy tutorial. The online tutorial also takes participants longer to complete than the hard copy version; however, the difference in time is not due to the effect of the medium alone. It is the result of an interaction effect of medium and step size. Finally, this study indicates that participants rate both the online and hard copy tutorials about the same in how much they like the tutorial and how effective they think it is as a teaching tool. Future research directions and implications are discussed.

Nothing Succeeds like Excess

Academic freedom, an absolute right not an abstract philosophy, should not subserve economic considerations.

Moreover, information technology remains a right not a privilege despite technocratic claims to the contrary.

Legislative and judicial decisions have determined the right of individuals to distribute information freely and the Bill of Rights documents the protection individuals should expect from the state.

However, laws do not provide much protection when despotic administrators interfere with computer resources because they disagree with the content of messages: a disagreement probably based upon disclosure of their own malfeasance.

They fear dissent and have an aversion to controversy. Their addiction to political correctness frequently causes them to invoke censorship of Internet activities.

They not only empower their systems administrators to handle frivolous email complaints by arbitrarily removing computer access but also allow them to censor incoming mail - an outrageous invasion of personal privacy.

They act upon an irrational expectation that certain categories of email may contain something that Big Mama would not wish others to read then arbitrarily reject it.

Interference with email transmission not specifically proscribed by federal law classifies as a federal offense which Rensselaer and University of Washington officials commit with impunity.

New Releases
September 2007

Shirley Ann Jackson, the latest arrival in a trio of uncaring Rensselaer presidents: Schmidt (1988), Pipes (1993), Jackson (1999), continued to employ Thomas Phelan, former H&SS Dean, as "university historian" and publicly adulated him at his death (2006), knowing that he had defrauded the university of millions of dollars by posing as a PhD when he did not hold a post-graduate degree.

Phelan's fraud trickled down to negatively affect students. Informed about denial of due process of law to untenured faculty and students, Jackson did nothing about it. She maintains a hypocritical political silence on issues that have had a devastating effect on many faculty and student lives while she unashamedly touts an ethical institution.

Phelan's deanship allowed him to employ a cabal of unqualified and inexperienced faculty that in turn short-changed hundreds of students who had paid one of the highest rates of tuition in the US. RPI breach of contract left them with a huge tuition debt and cost them millions of dollars in income through loss of their careers. Successive deans Duchin (1996) and Harrington (2002) covered up the criminal activity that they inherited which effectively made them accessories after the fact.

2007 has seen publication of a series of articles that expose academic and criminal fraud at Rensselaer and University of Washington (UW). They describe a cover-up of ongoing fraud that Jackson, Palazzo, and Harrington (RPI) also Emmert (UW) have neglected to address.

http://contracabal.us/

A list of fifteen articles published during September includes a new series entitled Roll of Dishonor which exposes alleged criminal activity by individual tenured faculty members and administrators. New case studies will continue to appear each month.

Information about academic fraud and deceit frequently surfaces after alumni and former faculty members read Contra Cabal. That information becomes part of a relevant case study after verification and validation. Students and current faculty members also write letters to the editor on politically sensitive issues. Some correspondents request name withholding to avoid retaliation which the editor, a professional journalist, honors.
