Her words and this blog have inspired me to become more involved in challenging plagiarism. I am a professor of criminology and criminal justice at two U.S. universities: University of Phoenix and Missouri Southern State University. I was amazed and appalled that the issue has reached such high levels in Germany. <br /><br />The issue hits very close to home with me because my doctoral dissertation proposal was plagiarized by a fellow student in 2010. This horrific experience, which caused a 3-4 month delay in my proposal being approved by my dissertation chair, inspired me to write a song entitled, "Plagiarism" -- please visit the following YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD_SBpz0_Kc <br /><br />I look forward to joining the fight! <br /><br />James E.

And now this Mainz/Frankfurt physician is an ...OMG! And now this Mainz/Frankfurt physician is an M. D. and she gets a salary others could never dream of. And just because of being able to put the right numbers into the right formulae?!<br />Thanks for the warning, Debora. You are the reason why, should I ever need a M. D. for a complicated operation, I will also do an Internet research about the "medical expert" that is going to operate me---to verify if he/she really knows about medicine of is just a master of copying facts (without understanding them in detail, though)<br />And ... wow! A dissertation in dental medicine in a whopping 6 months? They doing it the easy way, these folks. But then despite their enormous salary, they will charge you for any additional swab they use on you. Great! <br />Hopefully they don't even give her a "* cum laude"-kind of rating for that nonsense.Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091218950079982154.post-663874945226629702012-05-02T12:07:40.353+02:002012-05-02T12:07:40.353+02:00Funnily enough I just recently spoke with a dentis...Funnily enough I just recently spoke with a dentist who is going get her "Dr. med dent" in a few weeks. Her medical dissertation is about colon cancer. She practically just does some number crunching (if easy Excel-built in formulae count as such) on a completely different subject and will still be "Dr. med dent" afterwards. And all her patients will fall for the illusion that she must be a very good dentist because of the title...<br />But of course for her rearranging numbers in tables is worth being "rewarded" with the title, because "I spent six months with it".<br />She was really shocked when she learned that I "needed" 3.5 yrs for my dissertation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091218950079982154.post-33374272960066221072012-05-01T21:39:17.850+02:002012-05-01T21:39:17.850+02:00I don't know about you, but I'm not just i...I don't know about you, but I'm not just interested in politicians who lie. I don't want to be treated by a doctor who lies. I don't want to drive over a bridge built by engineers who lied. They don't need doctorates to be good doctors or engineers - so why did they do it? Science is about searching for truth. A doctorate demonstrates that one has the competence to do research. If you lie - steal others words and ideas - they you are not a researcher, in my book.Debora Weber-Wulffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036864220530629908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091218950079982154.post-41200632703052605312012-05-01T18:56:52.264+02:002012-05-01T18:56:52.264+02:00what's the problem ?
