so there were a bunch of court cases.
to do with private tutors setting up companies (how entrepreneurial of them!) to sell the test questions and answers for 1st year medicine and 2nd year medicine and 3rd year medicine etc etc.
because you don't pay your tutors, right, so they have to make their money somehow.
so the second year medical students can make a bunch of money 'tutoring' or giving the answers to the next year. or the wanna be group of the next year. or maybe their high school. alumni. or previous residential hall, or whatever.
of course mostly it's a scam.
so i guess the university of auckland took them to court? not sure who did... likely the university of auckland did... because they were butt hurt they were getting cut out of the process.
like how the ivy league schools in the USA were all butt hurt that people were paying all this money to private tutoring services etc etc and then claiming not to have enough savings to pay the full cost of university tuition...
so the universities get pissy that people are stealing monies that they believe belongs to them...
so they try and get the courts to punish the other party and put them out of business so the money goes back to the university.
so most of the nz court case stuff has been suppressed.
i don't suppose that is because the courts ruled it was not a matter of public interest.
lol. of course they did! of course they ruled that how the public universities are allocating training places (giving places to cheats) is not a matter of public interest.
it is not a matter of public interest that people had to cheat and pay cheating services (within the univesrity or within companies set up by people selling the university test questions and / or answers and / or selling the curriculum contents to people so they can spend most of their high school years being schooled particularly on the arbitrary answers the university wanst to see to ambiguous questions) etc.
all of the judgments seem to have been suppressed.
what is the difference between a case being suppressed and -- not being heard at all?
i don't see a difference.
basically... the nzl courts are (genuinely) not functioning. non-functioning.
the people on pay-roll don't seem willing or able...
and i've seen judgments to that effect all the way up to the supreme court.
the supreme court thinks I should pay thousands and thousands of dollars for appealing the judgment (from the court of appeal) that I (as a government beneficiary) should be requierd to pay more than $20,000 to have cases heard on appeal (without so much as a reduction in costs or offer of a feasible payment plan) so that i can appeal... judgments made against me.. to the effect that NZ univerities don't have to follow the rules they wrote for themselves to follow on enrolment, completion, selction, and the NZVCC doesn't have to follow their rules either.
the universities just give qualifications to whoever they want for whatever arbitrary reasons they want (they don't have to atten dthe uni or attend their work placement) or withhold qualifications to whoever they want for whatever arbitrary reasons they want (they don't have to give completions to people who have done the work)...
they just do whatever...
there's no court system here.
there's nothing here.
there doesnt' appear to be anything here, at all.
in other news... did you know that giving pregnant women steroids can help induce premature birth? but it's okay because their lungs will be a little more developed than usual. then we can shove them on a ventillator and keep them in a chamber so they can't touch their mother etc. you know... really try and give them the worst possible start to life that we can... you know... to measure the effects of deprivation however many generations later...
how much money do people need to pay to the new zealand government to give them (lesser value no doubt) scholarships and awards so they get to do such things to the people of new zealand?
how much do you have to pay to get to give the little girls HPV aroudn teh same time as a heel stick injury?

I just genuinely don't understand why there isn't anything here.
I genuinely don't understand why my supervisor wouldn't simply get my work to the externals if he wasn't going to work with me, then get out of the f*ck*ng way. If he's too busy going on holiday or doing his own work or spending all his time writing someone else's thesis for them, then that's fine, just say you don't have any time for me so I should hand in my work by x date and it'll go out to the externals. They can suggest concrete changes to be done in a certain amount of time and then they can sign me off.
It is not supposed to be that f*ck*ng hard.
And again, 1 year research project up to 50,000 words. It is not supposed to be that hard.
First year University: 2 x 2,500 word essays x 4 classes per semester for a total of 8 classes per year for a total of 20,000 words in one year (and a bunch of examination scripts.
Second year University: 2 x 3,000 word essays x 4 classes per semester for a total of 8 classes per year for a total of 24,000 words in one year (and a bunch of examination scripts.
Third year University: 2 x 3,500 word essays x 4 classes per semester for a total of 8 classes per year for a total of 28,000 words in one year (and a bunch of examination scripts.
Fourth year University: 2 x 5,000 word essays x 4 classes and no examinations for a total of 40,000 words in one year.
A one year masters research project: up to 50,000 words. In ONE YEAR. What is the f*ck*ng problem, here? An academic year is roughly 9 months including 3 months of examination (1 1/2 months per semester).
WHAT IS THE F*CK*NG PROBLEM HERE???
A PhD has a minimum enrolment period of 2 years and up to 100,000 words.
That means you can write the f*ck*ng thing in 2 years and have it externally examined over 1 year for a total of 3 years enrolment time. Or you could write it in 1 and 1/2 years and have it externally examined and done in 2 years.
New Zealand is not allowing people to complete graduate research qualifications.
They will not get the work to external examiners.

you have your lab book that tells you one thing.. and you have demonstrators demonstrating what you are supposed to do.
you are supposed to do what has been demonstrated even if (especially when) it conflicts with written instructions.
every
time.
never mind the manufacturers instructions on how vaccines are supposed to be administered, how face masks are supposed to be worn, how rapid antigen tests are supposed to be administered.
never mind the manufacaturers instructions on how medications are supposed tobe prescsribed or monitored. never mind the manufacturers instructions on how implants or surgical equipment is supposed tobe used or cared for.
do what the government says when they say because they say.
this is how we do things here. our sociocultural environment where the people without the capcaity to develop such things get to dictate to everyone because...
because they like to dictate and force complance with their dication.
makes them feel big

In reply to comply with what i say, posted by alexandra_k on March 5, 2022, at 22:51:03
so we define the thing we are looking for as x (we define it differently from the standard liteature) so we can say that we found it in labs.
we write up that we found the effect we were looking for.
(we ignore the literature that says you would actually not expect to find that in labs)
we have the students all write up lab reports where they confess their compliance with doing what we said...
we have them write about how they felt when giving cervical examinations to women who were anesthetised for unrelated problems, also. we want to hear them say how they felt and thought about it and what they thought were ethical issues aroudn that etc.
we have them write these things up before we decide whether or not to give them their degrees.
year after year after year of forced confessions of compliance with instructions to perform cervical examinations on non or unconsenting women.
etc.
otherwise... all the money you spent on the cheating services etc etc was for nought.
awwwwww.

of course they will give all the undergraduate work to turnitin so that turnitin can sell it or give it away to high school students or undergraduates at the ivy leagues schools in the USA.
