Douglas College in China - Dubious Degree's Global News | Dubious degree 23 min video in the link above. (not sure how to embed it) Quote:
Douglas College sets up shop in Shanghai Policy is "All students will pass, eventually" Students would still pass and get certificates/degrees even though they failed all or most exams. One example; Professor failed 83/115 students, Chinese TA's reversed the grades and passed 82/83 of the failed students. |
If you can't understand English, why strive for a English education first. Not sayin they shouldnt be entitled to the education..but learn the language first good read though |
and we just had that thread last week where people were complaining that its not fair that degrees from chinese universities need to be upgraded to be recognized in canada. degrees from canadian colleges in china arent even any good!! |
not like you can do shit with anything from douglas college anyway |

Student enters Douglas College presuming they did not do well in High school. Enters Douglas and slacks off or tries but the fact that not having any English backround, it's going to be an uphill climb. Student fails. Then gets a pass from the TA's making them feel like they have accomplished something and finished education. Enters the workforce and people will either laugh at their credentials or find out how much they have actually learned in post secondary. I don't think this was a good idea actually unless Douglas was already expecting this |
this is absolutely disgusting. douglas college needs to immediately end partnerships with the chinese schools. but its too late the damages have been done. Douglas college degree is now worthless. and remember sfu chinese students selling waitinglist and past exams? we can't let them cheat through our canadian education system. they can do that back home but not here. |

+1. Chinese international students who cheat in order to earn a university degree in Canada must be punished severely by the institutions. What happened to integrity? |
lol get a Canadian degree but cant speak english... |
more info on the SFU thing? |
If I was ever going to be a HR manager, the first thing I would do in a interview is make the applicant read 'the cat in the hat' out loud to me. If they're gonna waste my time, at least it's going be entertaining. |
I attend Douglas College :( I was pissed that this happened when it aired on CTV last week. Not as pissed as some of the faculty at Douglas College. How some can ruin it all for the others. Reputation down the drain. |

It's sad and disgusting to hear about this. I spent a couple of semesters at Douglas College and I found a bunch of instructors that had nothing but respect for academia. Some of the most inspiring and most opinionated/educated profs I've had are from DC. I honestly hope none of them had affiliations, or even knew of the scums operating in China. |

First let me say I don't condone outright blatant cheating, yet I do not consider studying past material cheating. I have no problem paying for past exams, and have as our engineering society (Carleton U) kept old exams around to photocopy for a small price. If teachers are too lazy to make their exams very different than years prior, then it is their mistake to think students are not ingenious enough to find them to study from. I had one prof that even handed out last years exam as study material. The best thing I did was make friends with a 3rd year student during my first week at Carleton. He gave me all his old material. He grades were not stellar (~C student) yet having the material ahead of time and knowing what to expect was priceless. Post secondary education is not about learning, its about learning how to learn. I learned that in my field (engineering) almost everything has been done before, so its less about learning to do something the first time from scratch, and more about studying how its been done before and learning to adapt it to what you're currently doing. |
Some students from China at UBC have high end tutors that use materials that end up being very close to or even identical to the actual midterm/final. They get high marks while actually "studying," but does that make it any better? The corruption begins! Posted via RS Mobile |
yep, all about resource management and networking. best real life skills i got during my time in school. |

You're probably not going to differentiate a function, balance a chemical equation, or write a history essay in your job, but you'll need analytical and communication skills. |
