NictisZorander:
SMH, go and check your first post about the essence of a research and the process and where you first foolishly claimed all thesis must be defended.
Stop with the marlakey. Provide this:
But you claimed a research or conclusion is incomplete without theoretical conclusions LMAO! FOH Dumbass!
LMAO Mr Amnesia, i never brought up that equation, you did. i just forgot to put it in a quote and you're too stupid to remember what you wrote.
Pointless. What does this even mean?

WTF is wrong with this guy? you just said something was disproved and then said i didnt mention it because i dont know anything? cheesy
The use of IQ tests in general as a determinant of intelligence has waned. But you who mouths off IQ at every point did not know that was the formula relating mental age and actual age that I was mocking earlier. You are excrutiatingly asinine.


First up he brings up mental age and some equation which i never brought up, says its disproved and now i'm ignorant for not bringing it up cheesy
Dullardino you were talking mental age....Nah NVM. Won't suffer your dunderhead further.

Now kids cant be smarter than adults cheesy
They can. For a kid to be smarter than the adult, they will need to be able to reason higher than the level of that adult at their present state. So a 5 year old kid who knows some calculus is not smarter than a college maths professor simply because the college professor did not know calculus at the same age. The kid is smarter than the professor was at age 5 and that is all. That same kid may grow up not knowing more calculus than the prof does now. Basic reasoning.

LMAO. Above average intelligence but thinks like a retar.d, do you know how intelligence works? cheesy
"average" meaning there were days of brainfarts and days of sound reasoning of which when a mean was taken, you landed just above it. Those who are highly intelligent have way more days of sound reasoning with outlier moments of clunkers. Think of Steph and Korver. The "best 3pt shooter" was 1/22 over 4 games and the other who made 22 3s still had a very bad game where he went 1/10.

You know more than i do at 21 when every stupid comment you've mad i've proven to be untrue. Going by your statements here you dont know anything man LMAO
Delusion is bliss. Why do you think people jeer at you?

First i had no thesis at all then thesis are for post grads, then all thesis must be defended then its only stem degrees. cheesy
Provide just 1 place where any of these statements were made against you.

If this is what you know now, i am scared to find out how much you knew at 16, or is your brain degenerating?
I knew that graduating aged 16 meant fvckall. Imagine seeing someone now boast about it? grin

WTF? When did i ever bring it up as an achievement? LOL These donkeys put words into my mouth and then claim they've disproved what i said, again where did i ever bring my academic level as an achievement? SMH The little insecure midget out of nowhere decided to create a story out of misconceptions i never subscribed to and how is that my fault.
This is the you who said you wondered if you were boastful etc but when you logged into your academic portal and saw your results and all your achievements you realised people bla bla bla. Now you are denying the achievements you thought you had.

And where did i call being 21 an achievement, i called it a privilege, clearly stated it. When re.tards lose arguments they begin to create dumb ones or create and attack narratives that dont exist to hide their obvious failure.
LOL

Wait, maybe this bonehead just doesnt understand english? Man i'm dead cheesy

When you report and explain every milestone you made and how you came by it and your work is tested for plagiarism without passing both criteria how can you have someone else do everything for you? cheesy This guy is a certified dummy!
Plagiarism means someone wrote for you?
Reporting every milestone means the examiners can verify that you did the reporting?

LMAO! Where did i ever say it was a big deal my God? why do you keep creating these narratives that i have nothing to do with and then go on to blame me for your stupidity. Your man brought my thesis out of nowhere and the idiot just like you assumed thesis were for postgraduates and created some timeline which i never stated myself. So i should defend why Donlittle25 is a mo.ron and a midget because his assumptions scammed you not me. grin This is someone stupid enough to use his name and handle here what else do i have to say about his stupidity?

Ohh and mind you in my noble household one is required to memorize a certain holy book and learn a certain semitic language and is required to be at least 18 years of age before leaving the country for studies.
He taunted you about your PhD thesis you had to turn in. I echoed the sentiment. You did not refute the PhD aspect but defended thesis. Then he used your age accounts to negate the PhD position and you sought to engage him. When you were trapped, you denied ever being a PhD. Then I swooped in to contravene the same argument even if it were extended to Masters (involving research). You tried to make a case but as soon as you were trapped, you denied ever being in a masters program. I have now asked you what is special about submitting a report following your undergrad program.

As for the latter part of your rubbish post, I have a ton of muslim friends. 2 of them even went to Florida to study the same course you did. They were 16 when they left Nigeria and they were taught Arabic (+french) even as they memorised the koran growing up. Find another excuse abeg.

Let us assume you got paid by me to do my whole report. Then I "turnitin". How do the examiners ascertain that I did it myself?

Remember, it will pass the plagiarism test because I want to assume you did a good job of not citing any work or ideas without proper referencing (which is plagiarism) etc. So tell me how the examiners can verify beyond reasonable doubts that I, Eruditor, did it.

I saw it and I saw the schools that end their term in may.

You said you speak russian meaning you hava some knowledge of the Russian language if I remember correctly.

That means you are based out of Eastern Europe.

About every school on that list in Eastern Europe ends their semester around October or September.

Stop with the marlakey. Provide this:
You are the guy who said you did not need to defend your thesis which is what brought us here. After you have collated data and made deductions out of them, you will put out a theory (conclusion) from it, which will necessitate why you must defend it in front of the experts and your academic peers. Their duty is to check your decision-making and ascertain that the reasoning put behind the theory is plausible.
Here you go you demented lying son of a manky w.hore cheesy


Pointless. What does this even mean?

Dullardino you were talking mental age....Nah NVM. Won't suffer your dunderhead further.
No i wasnt, i was talking about the simple concept of intelligence, you googled it, stumbled into something else and like the idiot you are found something and assumed thats what i was talking about, even copied some bogus equation out of cluelessness cheesy

LMAO Basic reasoning maybe for dolts or lack there of. How far is this kid above the mean intelligence for kids his age and how far is the professor? A kid with a intelligence higher than 95% of kids his age is smarter than an adult with intelligence considered 80% higher than adults his age.

Dumb statement, dumb analogy, you're either smart or you're not. Reasoning and intelligence isnt epileptic like shooting and only a nitwit like you will even bring up this as an example cheesy


Delusion is bliss. Why do you think people jeer at you?
Simple. Because i'm better than them and i know it.



Provide just 1 place where any of these statements were made against you.
LMAO can you now see how disingenuous you are and why i say you're a shameless liar?

Did you not question whether i wrote a thesis or not, did you not question whether or not an undergraduate thesis is a thesis even after looking at a course similar to ours?



I knew that graduating aged 16 meant fvckall. Imagine seeing someone now boast about it? grin
But you're the first person to bring it up to say you graduated from a five year degree at 21, may be your brain is degenerating afterall.


This is the you who said you wondered if you were boastful etc but when you logged into your academic portal and saw your results and all your achievements you realised people bla bla bla. Now you are denying the achievements you thought you had.

AHA! I remember saying putting all my accolades aside, my results which are way above average are indicative of my intellect. See i remember everything.

I discarded my plethora of accolades and searched within myself.

Even if you don’t fear God, fear Boko Haram
Stop trying to twist narratives you shameless donkey. The first thing he attacked is my age based on his assumptions which i quickly dispelled.

My thesis was groundbreaking little man. Notice I said thesis, not PHD you dumb fvck.

Yes as a matter of fact I just became old enough to drink (not that I would ever bring that poison anywhere close to my body) literally a week ago. You didn't wish me a happy birthday midget?

I told you, I'm gifted.

Injured, broken and beaten, the king retreated into his lair to medidate. As the bright warm summer season begins he knows he faces a decision that may shape his legacy. The final roll of the dice which will see him fulfill his destiny as the "Chosen One". He faces a challenge like no other before, a four headed hydra the realm has never seen.

Your supervisor is not your examiner. He cannot verify that you wrote those things yourself. I could have been getting my mercenary do it for me chapter by chapter and my Supervisor would not have a clue. That is why it is apposite to subject you to other examiners whose duty is to do primarily that.

Plagiarism cannot be checked by a defense for the umpteenth time. What you submitted is a report. They may call it thesis in your circle to make you feel you are in an academic environment but nobody in the US will honour it as a thesis. This is most likely a UK setting where they even have professional PhD programs. lol

Me being in passive mode and embracing a more humble approach to things I considered what you posted. I discarded my plethora of accolades and searched within myself. Could he be right? Do I have an over inflated ego? Could it be? Am I a deluded narcissist? Right at that moment I checked into my university's online portal and glanced the first entry of my final results and mark me, all that self doubt flew right out of the window. Forget the tests, forget the aforementioned accolades, my brain functions at a level that makes me question if I'm really even human. I see things, know things ordinary people like you can never understand. So keep grasping at straws eruditor, while the legend of my prodigious genius grows.
This is why I find you amusing:

so what are the aforementioned accolades that are plethora in number or your prodigious genius?

You have one laughably passable report you wanted to magnify into a thesis.
You are achieving things at the same rate of the average person your age.
YOU are often caught in one lie or gaffe and the mortals around you on Nl are quick to spot and a times eviscerate you.

There is nothing to who you are. Not your mannerism, the insularity with which you pass of cliches. Not your childish rantings, your base reasoning, your constant search for validation, your lies...nothing. There is nothing celebratory or vaunted about your so-called accolades which are summarised into being 21 and memorizing the Quran.

You are a shameless portrayal of academic chicanery. A bad case of impostor syndrome. If you are anything related to being freakishly intelligent then I am God the creator of Heaven and earth.
Re: The NBA Begins by osayi90: 1:18am On Jun 10, 2018
Eruditor:
This depends on what they call thesis. Some people use the term interchangeably to refer to projects, papers, essays and so on - it is a present day misnomer. But if thesis is being used as thesis in the very essence of the word, then I disagree with your explanation. I mean disagree totally.

What I have observed academically in some UK and to some degree Australian schools is that they have some “coursework” PhDs which is basically like an undergrad degree. But for research-laden Academic milieus like US, you cannot just submit a report that is reviewed independent of their assessment of your “thesis”. Because someone somewhere else could have been contracted to do everything for you which is the unforgivable crime in academia.
You are absolutely free to disagree. Let me try once more to convince you. A PhD is the highest academic degree one can attain; hence, it is
difficult to scam the system, especially in a first-rate university; so many processes are involved before you contribute to knowledge, you cannot just magically write a thesis- meaning you will have to go through mile stones (annual progress reports plus interviews). Most importantly you will have a supervisor (who you meet perhaps every week or less so), you may have collaborators you work with (if your work is multidisciplinary), you may have published in peer review journals, etc. After these, there will be no way anyone in the world will be able to write a thesis for you. From experience, your supervisors usually know when what you have done is enough to get you a PhD, he then tells you to write-up your results. So you see my friend if you had the mindset to scam the system, the self-organized structure of the program would have fished you out or you would have fished yourself out.

Like I said most top universities in Australia adopt this model (no thesis defense is require).....If you are still in doubt, do a quick search on google and you just may satisfy your curiosity.

Cheers!

A thesis is a thesis end even Nigerians are subjected to a thesis defense. Speaks to the glorified secondary school you went to where turnitin and examiners are measures to curtail falsification, fabrication and plagiarism in "research". grin

Your household decided to restrain this precocious talent BECAUSE of memorizing the quran and arabic that even the most liberal muslim homes already start at a young age yet yours did not realise you could have learnt and mastered it when you were busy wasting your time on Ruski?

You're right. Regardless of measures taken every thesis is subject to a defense and thesis defense in Nigerian universities is not a reflection of the absence of these measures.

My time spent after graduating also had nothing to do with the 18 year old benchmark I lied about being a requirement for further studies.

You are right eruditor. All I have done here is lie my way through this thread.

I have consistently mentioned why having a PhD is what makes me smart.

An original academic research coupled with data analysis and following all the steps of higher qualifications is not a thesis. There is no such thing as an undergraduate thesis.

I have a confession to make. You guys were right all along.

Everything I have posted here is a lie. I am a 17 year old kid from the north east region of the country in a village very close to sambisa forest. Day and night the only thing that gives provides me a safe haven from the sound and terrors of war is this persona that I created on this forum. I am not tall, I am a measly 5'5. I have a face only a mother could love and i could very well be mentally re.tarded or so everyone says. I currently live in chibok in Borno state and I am from a Christian minority ethnic group. Everything I posted here is just an elaborate ruse, a reflection of who I strive to be. I hope you two can please forgive me for leading you and everyone else astray. Europe? Heck I've never even been outside the north east let alone the country.

Obviously you guys are boffins and not irrelevant small fries and are definitely not beneath and hence why I need to seek approval from you at the cost of my identity.

Your explanation is convincing and I have actually read up on the norm in Australia. Essentially, the quality of the thesis (written form) determines the award of the PhD, in the US it is starkly variant. From what I have gleaned, it is similar to getting oneself published in a peer-review seeing that the examiners assume that everything leading to their assessment of the work was above-board. I understand most Australian schools avoid the financial aspect and time zone differences involved in flying in revered experts in the field to do the type of oral defense that obtains in the US so they adopted the method above. Interesting.

Like I said most top universities in Australia adopt this model (no thesis defense is require).....If you are still in doubt, do a quick search on google and you just may satisfy your curiosity.

Cheers!
Stop trying to defend this ridiculous idea that some countries apply models and standards different from that of Nigerian universities. Eruditor is not a clown, he's obviously a genius who is acquainted with the universal model used by every school in the world because he studied engineering in a Nigerian university.

Mile stone reports? Poppycock I say.

Plagiarism and Turnitin? Balderdash.

Every thesis must be defended as is the standard of Nigerian universities that don't even check for plagiarism and hence the standard of all universities in the world no matter how archaic and outdated that concept is.

I know what they are and I blame myself for consistently thinking they're capable of any learning or critical thinking.


Now can we please stop this useless argument about who or what I am and get back to basketball. This thread has been detailed enough.

You are silly. Australian PhD theses are defended just not orally. That is the take away. So the feed back mechanism could mean the degree will be conferred after months if the thesis itself or conclusions therein need revising. The difference with this in the US is, the feedback is given immediately somewhat because it is orally done in the presence of the independent auditors/experts and the thesis itself is not as gruelly assessed because US mandates 5-6 papers published in peer-reviewed journals before graduation.

LOL but thesis by definition must be defended like you said. Milestone reports, Turnitin and these other measures have nothing to do with defense like he said. iIt has to be oral. You are acquainted with the US system and now the Australian system thanks to that guy who you obviously know more than and therefore you're qualified to speak on every system in the world. All I'm saying is you've been right all along.


Can we put this ridiculous argument to bed since you're right?

But when I said I submitted and my work has been graded you and your little minion said I have to go through a thesis defense and as such my time frame isn't plausible. You are obviously aware that there are other schools that do things differently and incorporate accreditation into the research process. You were never wrong to assume otherwise. Rightfully so too, like I said everything I posted here is a lie to begin with.

I don't post things for likes otherwise I wouldn't be here.

Now can we move on?
