kat Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 So have we come up with an answer already?Which universities are better? American or British ones? Is the OP satisfied with the answer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What's the matter Meemia, are you looking to pick a fight with me because of your frustration from another thread? I guess one does prefer the cover of opinion, when the facts are so clearly against you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is nt it obvious that they wont follow a dumb person or are they dumber than G W Bush?. You may not agree with his policy but he is the right president of USA at the right time where terorist intimidated the free world, he is the only person who will pursue them and destroy them.

Interesting to note that there isn't a single Thai university in the top 200 even. I have hired both Thai and US grads and i have to say that my experience with them suggests that Thai university education is inadequate for producing the sort of dynamic, independent, intellectually curious, and confident people i need on my team.

srisatch Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Cannot believe this thread found so much juice to keep it going! Perfectly simple question asked..turned out it was a bit more complicated as step-daughter does not speak English well enough to go abroad! There are no real measures for comparing universities, whatever THES or others may assert. Money plays a big part nowadsys re endowments etc...the theory being if you pay big salaries to attract whizzy academics that soemehow makes for a 'better' university. Many universities are 'competing' on the basis of Research criteria not on undergraduate teaching and the 'experience' of university. Just as the OECD and others try to 'rank' countries by GDP etc most of this bears no relation to what it means in terms of experience, learning, knowledge and skills that help you develop a career you wanted. You have to notice that most doctors have Tulane degrees or from wherever and it is true that Thai Hi-So and the politicians are sending their kids abroad...and little money is invested in Thai education..... If the girl has to stay in Thailand then Chula, Thamasat, Rangsit, for Med/Law/Media are the obvious choices..as I understand it they cost about B40,000 a semester. Cheaper than an International School....Ramkhamhaeng is a disgrace and would have been closed down in many another country...there are few teachers and what passes for education is simply rote learning of multiple choice test books...avoid at all costs! What she will get more than any high powered education is a cohort of classmates who will go on, probably,to be significant in Thai life..that is probably the best reason for sending her. Of course if she can become sufficiently proficient in English it would be great for her to go abroad as well,...where she goes and to study/learn what....choose the course for its reputation...and, generally,be doubtful of unheard of UK universities in unknown towns....but then I see the University of Staffordshire is up there with the best!!

That is absolutely untrue. Of course there are measures for comparing universities, otherwise how would you know that Chula and Thammasat are the obvious choices in Thailand, and Ramkhamhaeng is a disgrace? Not all comparisons are as stark, but there are different categories of measurement and scores for each. Some universities rank higher in certain categories even though they may not get the highest overall ranking. The top universities get consistently high rankings in individual and overall scores. Yes, money is a factor, but obviously not the only important one. The University of California Berkley is a public university and 2nd on the list, and there are 2 other American public universities in the top 20. This also reflects the scores in other international surveys, although THES is considered the international "authority". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrissyBoy Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Op what was your kids wanting to study as different universities would specialise in different faculties. This would also make the best university list obsolete as the best would only be the best at one thing. Also with the debate on who invented the computer i think you are all wrong as it was the babylonians whom first invented the abacus about 3000 years ago. After that it was the europians who perfected various counting machines (mechanical computers). But it wasn't until Konrad Zuse, a German engineer, completes the first general purpose progammable calculator in 1941. He pioneers the use of binary math and boolean logic in electronic calculation. This was the first electronic computer. Source Here Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yes, I was thinking of Zuse when I mentioned the calculator. I think it is much more realistic to view science and its inventions in a more cumulative light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
