Comment:
I’ve noticed that each year more and more students from India enter American Electrical Engineering Masters degree programs and simultaneously less and less Americans students are pursuing masters degrees. From my experience this deline in American enrollment is exhacerbated by the fact that Americans often find themselves out numbered by Indians that are notorious for cheating in mass. Many University’s Engineering Dept. are competing for rankings which are partially based on the number of masters degrees awarded, thus they have a motive for handing out more diplomas and thus many faculty are complacent when they witness academic dishonesty. UTA NMSU and ASU are some of the worse campuses for this effect. Consider looking up the enrollement numbers for these schools engineering departments, and the demographis for the advanced degree recipients… in some cases over 80% are from India. Imagine sitting in a classroom in the U.S. of A. and having 80% of your classmates being Indian!!
Good luck competing with master cheaters.

*** end quote ***

A “drive by” is what bloggers call a comment made without any identification. It’s usually spam. But in this case, it’s a rant.

I’d call it a racist rant. With misspellings!

Normally, I’d just niuke it and move on. I thought this was worth sharing.

I personally have no knowledge one way or the other about cheating. I do know that you can either do the job or not! Cheating might get you the paper, but you won’t be able to do the work. And, the cheater will soon find themselves out of a job. And, blackballed from society.

Sigh, please don’t leave me drive bys. They make me testy.
