My take: With all due respect, this is the last time I will speak on this. I only gave my opinion on LU from my perspective. I was giving my opinion, which only counts in horseshoes. I stated at least twice, your mileage may vary.
Q) This is for educational purposes: You can graduate from a diploma mill and publish because you don't even need a degree. If you're just trying to do adjunct work, then a Liberty University degree will be fine.
A) With all due respect, this is your opinion. You are entitled to such, and I can respect it, which I shall. I stated before that LU's History Program is not yet 6 years old. There is great research going on and yes, they are being published. I do think ( as opposed to you) that publishing does reflect on a program. We can agree to disagree. You are quite versed on Political Science, Criminal Justice and Government. I am not.
Q) If you're just trying to do adjunct work, then a Liberty University degree will be fine.
A)) Again, this is your opinion. I will respect your opinion. I disagree with you. That is what makes us both great folks. I think as the program grows and gets more of a firm footing, you will see more and more folks get Tier One jobs. It is about publishing (gosh, there is that word again) and teaching. You know this. You have been in interviews before.
Q) A course on the history of slavery is one of the few non-religious courses where religion should be mentioned. The Baptist denomination did split over the issue of slavery, but I guess that would draw negative attention to the disturbing history of the SBC and how the founder of Liberty University was a segregationist. In contrast, a person in another thread said that their communications course turned out to be a course on how to convert people to Christianity.
A) I can only speak the courses I took. You did not teach it, Dr. Super did. You can Monday morning quarterback it all day long. Does not mean you are right nor he. Yes, I know about Falwell, but this is about the history program at LU. I appreciate your commentary, and I respect your opinion. I am not here to defend LU, just to talk about my experiences.
