That's where Chip has his engineering degree from. You called his education third-rate. Perhaps you are just talking out of your posterior. What did Chip do to you?

The second link has information where no University in the DR is listed until the ranking of between 2,000 and 5,000 in the world. Impossible to tell which exact DR schools are ranked and exactly where in that 2,000 to 5,000 range. The point is, no DR school in the top 2,000 world wide .
A third tier education is still far better than no education. Nobody implied going to school here has no value. A degree from a school here generally carries little value outside of the DR.
Not true. Many Americans and other foreigners study medicine in the DR and have done for many years and then go and get licensed in the States or Europe. Furthermore, PUCMM offers dual degrees with French and American universities.
Also, engineer with bachelor's from PUCMM can sit for the Fundamentals Exam in the States and can get registered as a professional engineer. This is saying a lot as not every college or university in the US can say this. I understand PUCMM is working toward getting ABET accreditation, which would be even more impressive given that Yale's Environmental Engineering program does not have this certification, just to give an example.
I said generally in the DR. You picked medical and engineering disciplines (and at one school for engineering). What percentage of students are in those curricula in the DR?
Good for Chip continuing his education and doing right for his family. However that does not excuse the cr*p he posts. It is irritating to no end how he feels he is the spoke person for the Dominican Republic. His around about comments insinuating that foreigners are the root of all evil and bad in DR. One thing I think managed to learn all these years in the DR is that the Dominican people have no respect for any foreigner that comes here and pretends to know how and what Dominicans think. You may have some comprehension but you will never truly know.
I agree that chip has done good things by getting a degree. I also agree that the quality available is not his responsibility.
Universities in the DR remain a third tier.
Jingoism says we should praise the universities not subject them to comparison that would result in them being ranked low.
Nationalism might say I hear criticism is it valid and what should I do.
What chip and others here are promoting is jingoism and that is a dead end.
As far as the size of my balls from another poster: it takes balls to accept criticism and a lot more to change. Most of what I am hearing is excuses for the conditions and denial of the conditions. That's what no balls means!
Don't blame me or others stating the facts because it hurts your feelings.
truer words were never said. if you want to see contempt and disdain, try telling some guys here something they never knew before. try teaching them a better method of doing what they do. it burns them up, and they resent you for it. want proof? get a restaurant, hire them to cook, then try to teach them that it does not require a quart of oil to fry an egg. six weeks later, after telling them the same thing every day, you will still be going through a 55 gallon drum of oil per week.
Bob, I wasn't clear I was describing his degree from PUCMM. They are reported here to be ranked about #5200. Better?
Perhaps if you had a first tier education your command of the English language would be better. LOL. PUCMM is ranked between 200 and 250 in Latin America. Even 5000th in the world isn't that bad. How many are they ranked against.
They were ranked against at least 4999. Ranking against more than what they had been ranked against would result in either no change (stay at 5000) or to a higher number (>5000). No improvement.
"No Offense",To "My Fren" Chump, or to "Bob" either, but I seriously doubt that chip has ever seen, studied in, or visited, Clemson!!!!!
His studies were done here in the DR, not in the USA!
Again,..."No Offense",..."My Fren"!
I went to Harvard,when I lived in Boston, just not for very long!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Any jobs yet chip,..."My Fren"???????? :cheeky::cheeky::cheeky::cheeky:
"No Offense"!!!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Last night a well educated Dominican man told us at dinner that the Dominican people have a huge responsibility/part in why the Dominican is the way it is. He was very clear to say that foreigners are not the reason the country is in the state it is in. He also said accepting the Dominican way of life as a foreigner living here is one thing, pretending to know and understand is another. Only a Dominican truly knows, the rest just pretend. Living in the Dominican and getting continuing education does not make one Dominican or give one the ability to know and understand how a Dominican truly feels and thinks about his/her country. Another interesting comment was Dominicans have no respect for anyone who has such a high dislike for their home country, whether it is to their face or behind their backs. Why do think there is so much Dominican Pride amongst those living abroad he said, because they never forget where they came from. Interesting comments I thought.
