The truth about the PhD of "Doctor" Jill Biden

The educational system in your state must suck. I would never pay someone with a bachelor's degree in physics try to teach me university level physics.

I am from Massachusetts. Far from a state with an educational system that sucks. And you can stop the ploy here Cypress, changing the subject and educational institution levels. There is ZERO requirement for a Doctorates degree to teach at a community college level. You were wrong as usual. And I highly doubt you have paid anyone for any kind of education to be quite honest here. Your level of education seems to be contained to a public school level and maybe google. You should also read your own
link about adjunct Professors and community colleges. It says exactly what I said and not your cherry picked part. "Most commonly, adjunct professors must have completed a master’s degree to teach in higher education. Community colleges or technical schools may only require a bachelor’s degree, along with relevant experience in certain disciplines. Previous teaching experience in a university or college setting is often preferred."

You poor dumb fraud.

Looking further I found Sharpton was awarded honorary doctorates by several schools. However I haven't seen that he himself uses the title of doctor, just Reverend. FYI, trump also was awarded honorary doctorates from five schools although one was rescinded after his Muslim ban. Be sure to criticize him like you criticized Sharpton.

I would have a lot more respect for cons in general if so many of you stopped being petty and dismissive over Biden's educational accomplishments. She's stating them, not inflating them.

Christie. I never said he uses the title Dr. I said, quite clearly, that Democrats should be calling him Dr. Rev. Al Sharpton. All that fascination with titles and all. Once again, I am not being "dismissive" about Jill Bidens accomplishments. It is quite clear clear to me though that she is inflating it as well as Democrats. The fact of the matter is she has a EdD and not a PhD. Which she just happened to get at the same University that named a school after her Husband. And she teaches English at a community college.
You would think the way Democrats are hyping this up she was the Dean of Harvard or some other Ivy league University. About the only thing of note here is she has more education that Joe Biden. Which he lied about way back in 1988.

 
Its interesting watching people highlight the low quality of the paper she used to get her degree...apparently at the moment it is still online.....our owners (Carlin) have not removed it ......yet.

You are writing responses to what you wish I said, not what I actually said, white boy. I never said a PhD is required to teach CC.

"While a master’s degree is required to teach at most community colleges, institutions are also eager to attract highly qualified PhDs."

You might be dumb enough to pay money for someone with a bachelor's degree to teach university level physics.

Most CC students aren't that dumb and expect better. A BS degree is accreditation of minimum elementary competency in subject matter. College students paying money want subject matter experts teaching them. That means master's degree or preferably doctorate degree experts.

JB got her undergrad degree at UD in 1975, and her Ed.D. in 2007. The Biden School for Public Policy at UD wasn't even given that name until December 2018. Her education had nothing to do with the school being renamed. The school's blurb said it was renamed to honor Joe Biden, former Vice President, who got his own BA there.

You said without evidence that Jill is inflating her accomplishments. She has never called her degree a Ph.D. She has three other degrees, a BA and two Masters. Please explain this inflation you're claiming. Like it, hate it, denigrate it, the woman had the intelligence and discipline to further her education and use it to help others. Look at the difference between a Ph.D and an Ed.D, and why people would choose one over the other. Here's an explanation below. It appears Jill took exactly the path she needed because her major interest was teaching, not research.

A Doctor of Education (EdD) is a professional degree designed for practitioners pursuing educational leadership roles. A PhD in education, on the other hand, is designed to prepare graduates for research and teaching roles.


“With a PhD, [students are] reviewing the research, seeing a gap in the literature, and generating new knowledge based on a theory or hypothesis,” Joseph McNabb, a professor of practice in Northeastern’s Graduate School of Education, explains. “Conversely, an EdD student starts with a problem of practice and [works to learn] the skills it will take to resolve that complex problem of practice.”

Actually Cypress all you need is a Bachelors degree to teach non-transferrable classes at a community college. To teach transferable classes, most community colleges require a minimum of a Master’s degree and 18 hours at graduate level in the subject being taught. Nothing there requiring a Doctorates. Sorry to have to correct you again on your supposed vast knowledge. That is what happens when someone actually goes to college. They know these things. Anything else I can correct you on?

I did not say a doctorate was a requirement. You just imagined I said that.

Having a PhD is a competitive advantage, and Jill Biden and thousands of other people prepare themselves academically to have that competitive and professional advantage.

In academic subjects, community colleges generally expect to hire people with masters degrees or doctorates.

The following reputable sources corroborate precisely what I wrote:

"A community college teacher needs at least a master’s degree. Like most collegiate institutions, preference may be given to a candidate with a PhD. Community colleges also want instructors with prior teaching experience."

Most English teachers have no clue how to teach the subject properly. None of mine did. Mostly it was: write a paper, turn it in and it comes back with red marks all over it with no explanation. Correct writing, spelling and grammar are signs of someone well educated and it makes a difference when you can see if someone has those skills or they don't.

What? For putting a link to her PhD dissertation and making a comment based on reading it? Obviously, you are an ill-informed, political parrot who just recites the party line rather than an actual thinking human being with some degree of intellect based on that comment.
