Doctoral dissertation in Education (@uhmanoa). researchgate.net/profile/Nichol…

Starts off with some great insights.

You should've trusted your instinct.

We would've never guessed.

We see where this is going now.

Oh please. Is this the script to a bad movie about a surfer guy who's picking up chicks at the beach?

Dude, you should've just gone to trade school.

A complex concept indeed.

Again, this is written by someone who holds a PhD in Education.

What a shame.

It's not a conspiracy...

The mandatory neoliberalism section.

Great to see this scholar address the oppressive nature of standardized testing.

Oh, now that they've covered the objective parts, it's time to get personal again.

This dissertation has more reruns than Law and Order.

Great, just took you 35 pages to get here.

If PhD programs had special ed classes, this would have been written in one of them.

"Philosophical"

Writing stories about your experiences and generating ad hoc explanation models that fit in with your ideological viewpoints will unlikely be unpredictable. Unless...

We actually agree with this.

These people...

We're just about 10% into the dissertation at this stage. This will be a long thread.

It's a good thing that the author has not made up his mind about his conclusions prior to writing the dissertation. Oh wait.

Politically neutral dissertation.

Mother of all Figure 1's.

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

"Seriously, you're not that important, dude." - What the adviser should've said.

Please repeat this again.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) seems useful.

Explains the recent "campus activities"

Similar to a clitoris, he was told.

They've been keeping busy.

Like everything else...

If academia had the Onion:

You can't make this shit up.

LOL.

Complex methods.

Wow. Just wow.

Peak self-help book advice.

He wrote down his honest feelings. Great.

LOL, "external data". Sure, dude.

Noooo.... really?

These people are sure keeping themselves busy.

Here we go with the cringeworthy stories otherwise known as "data".

The bad script continues.

We hope that you could recover from this.

This is literally a diary now.
