I thought it would be fun to get a sense of JUST how many ~~procrasitinators~~ students there are at Donationcoder. I know of at least two high school students, two Bachelors' students, one Masters' student, and five PhD candidates... So, how many more of us are there out there in Codyland?

mouser · « **Reply #1 on:** May 08, 2007, 04:42 PM »

nice idea; i added to choices at the end.

Darwin · « **Reply #2 on:** May 08, 2007, 04:46 PM »

Good idea, mouser. Hadn't thought of that!

I am working on a teaching certificate, so I selected some other kind of school.

Darwin · « **Reply #4 on:** May 08, 2007, 05:50 PM »

Sorry, Carl, I dashed the poll off quickly and was having trouble thinking of all the possible types of qualifications that people might be working on. Good thing mouser had the wit to add the "other" choice... Anyway, thanks for taking the time to vote!

PS was going to add "teacher training" to the choices but can see that then I'd be adding "MBA", "CGA", "CA", "BN", "RN", and so on, and so on... I'd *like* to keep it simple, if possible.

PPS Voting is unlocked again...

I accidentally locked it when stabbing at the "edit poll" button with my ten thumbs and a mouse designed for a mix of fingers and thumbs.

Wow, people really dont think highly of going for an associates do they :-P

Anyways, I am working via EArmyU with Central Texas College, towards my associates in Computer Science - Info Tech.

9 classes away

mouser · « **Reply #7 on:** May 08, 2007, 06:31 PM »

suggest any more categories to add and im sure Darwin will add them.

Darwin · « **Reply #8 on:** May 08, 2007, 11:07 PM »

Drat! Another one I forgot. I've added an option for associates degree. Sorry Josh. This is really embarrassing as I teach at a community college in an associates degree programme

Here's the funny thing. I have a PhD in philosophy, but whenever I've taught at the university level, I've taught undergraduate statistics! Neither are as exciting as computing, especially since I would have never been able to finish my grad degrees without a computer.

Jodix · « **Reply #10 on:** May 11, 2007, 06:51 AM »

I will finish my college in next year and I work almost on my speciality.

Darwin · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2007, 05:12 PM »

Wow - so far the PhD's have it... wonder what (if anything) that tells us

. This posting is a partial bump to the thread (I'm shameless). I hope people keep "voting". Not really the right word - "reporting"?

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to "report" and/or leave a note so far. Keep 'em coming!

maybe PhD students have more leisure time

Yeah... that's more or less what I was thinking

mouser · « **Reply #14 on:** May 13, 2007, 12:43 AM »

I added a last option

Darwin · « **Reply #15 on:** May 13, 2007, 08:08 AM »

Yeah - I was thinking of something like that but couldn't come up something that *felt right*. I like yours, though, it's perfect!

Im working on my Master of Computer science - 7 weeks to go

Darwin · « **Reply #17 on:** May 15, 2007, 08:02 PM »

Woo hoo! Way to go cronos. You must be quivering with the anticiplation of being almost finished. Well done - let us know when it's official.

Your vote has also put the Masters students ahead of the PhDs!

Go Masters!!

Errr, I don't have the slightest about what I'm studying

. I mean, I know what I'm studying, but I don't know its correspondence with the above options. Can anyone explain (an European guy if it's possible)?

Given your age, you must be in university. Given the new Bologna Treaty to which most universities have accepted, you should be doing a Masters or a Bachellor degree. Typically, the Bachellor is the first 3 years at university and the Masters is the last 2. Some universities don't offer the Bachellor and only offer a 5 year Masters Course. At least... That's how it works in Portugal

Lashiec · « **Reply #24 on:** May 16, 2007, 10:09 AM »

Hey, thanks João! OK, I fall into Bachelor's net then. My university offers Computer Engineering in two flavors: one, which is the one I'm at currently is directed towards economy and things like that, and lasts three years; two, is the real engineering, and lasts two years. Most people study the first one, and then either does the second or goes to another university for a different Master. I guess this is the price of studying in my home city, you have to go through accounts, statistics and all the nasty things associated with the economical world

* Casts vote *

Now things are balanced again, mwahaha!
