vikingTON Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Times University Rankings League Table 20104th St Andrews 14th Edinburgh 19th Glasgow 33rd Aberdeen 37th= Strathclyde 48th Stirling So yeah, yeah it is a quantitative fact. 3rd best in Scotland. Look up quantitative in your nearest dictionary, look at The Times' criteria, then come back with a gushing apology for your idiocy, thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Look up quantitative in your nearest dictionary, look at The Times' criteria, then come back with a gushing apology for your idiocy, thanks. I see no need for an apology. The Universities are ranked based on quantified criteria. Student Satisfaction, Research Quality, Student Staff Ratio, Services and Facilities Spending, Entry Standards, Completion, Good Honours, and Graduate Prospects. These criteria have clearly been quantified using internal criteria in so far as is possible. To all intents and purposes, therefore, it is quantitative fact that if Glasgow is a "Mickey Mouse" University, so to are at least all bar two Universities in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Have to say I disagree with the Master's "science over art" comment. Yes I have a computer. And am I writing on this forum in binary code or English ? Both equally important in terms of human endeavour. My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I made it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's an opinion polland a loose assessment of how money and funds leads to good teaching. Not quantifiable at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else would you quantify it then? Are you saying that the league tables are not even a good indication? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm saying it's not quantifiable. It is meaningless. Then what exactly is your point about my assertion that Glasgow is one of the best Universities in Scotland. Do you dispute the claim? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Then what exactly is your point about my assertion that Glasgow is one of the best Universities in Scotland. Do you dispute the claim? I'm not sure what that's supposed to acheive. All it is is a name that nobody really gives a toss about. I think I've made it crystal clear. Nobody gives a toss about Glasgow's reputation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mak Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Exuberant, have you ever kissed a girl? Just wondering. Come to think about it, VikingTon, if you could answer the same question (but with your name instead of Exuberant's), that'd be great. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
