The Fourth Degree, Crankiness, Atheism
Yesterday completed the exam for EDU4441 Tertiary and Adult Education Policy, which means (assuming that I've pased), that I now have my fourth degree, a Graduate Certificate in Tertiary and Adult Education. Now I just have to see how my application at the University of Otago for a Master of Education. With regards to the Grad Cert, a previous post indicated that I'd appealed the grade I'd received for the research project from both the tutor and the unit coordinator; the academic chair has reviewed my case and agrees that I have been assessed unfairly and that I should engage in self-assessment of my project in accordance to the information to the marking criteria and the previously submitted research proposal.
Which all has been a surprisingly successful run of removing the issue of my previous cranky post; the Australian Tax Office acknowledged a problem after I had submitted a complaint, Net Registry has a small mountain of problems with their hosting service (including regular core dumps, but I'm working my away around those. Even Ebay has recognised the need to be more attentive of misallocated items that they have for sale and the limits on their blocked sellers option. Now admittedly, all of this has taken far more effort that should have been necessary, but that's most certainly the cause of prior crankiness.
On a much less cranky matter, presented at the Atheist Society last night with the controversial title The Pragmatic Limits of Scientism in New Atheism, where I essentially drew a lineage from logical positivism to new atheism, and constrasted it with both Gould's non-overlapping magisteria and universal pragmatics. A good turnout (especially given the weather!), good quality discussion afterwards and was both pleased an impressed to have Graeme and Jonathan Rutherford in attendance.
