Turkish Market [Turkish & English]

I did not say the courses are hard. Did I? I did not mention it at all. You happen to have an answer already and were gonna write that answer given there is 'grading' word in an argument. Oh, is this grading? Let me vomit my thoughts without elaborating on the answer like crazy and insult someone right away. I believe this attitude of yours, in a way, represent the attitude one can witness in Bilkent.
At the risk of repeating myself, let me tell you one more time hoping you can sit down and think about it. The faculty, as I mentioned above but as you clearly tried your best not to understand, is not supportive overall (Focus on this adverb if you are having hard time understanding). There are amazing professors such as SK, TK and few others that are unbelievably fair, helpful and amazing at their job. Yet, your admission can easily be rejected by a low grade you got just because you refused to participate in brown-nosing some egoist maniac professors. That is, those people will believe you do not deserve a decent placement and punish you right away. Well, let me ask this question: If you are that sure of yourself in evaluating someone's abilities and understanding, why couldn't you stay in a top institution and keep evaluating some real applications for Ph.D.? They are supposed to evaluate the students scores in that class only, again focus on the adverb 'only' for those who have hard times understanding others' arguments, and nothing more. If someone mistakenly asks them for a reference letter, they are of course free to put their opinions forward. Yet, knowing they are not gonna be asked that one, they just want to reflect their useless opinions in their gradings which makes the grading harsh and unfair. The education is therefore harsher than necessary. Again, I am not saying hard or something like that. It is H-A-R-S-H. Just go to Sabanci/Koc/Bogazici and learn your stuff with some support from the faculty and place yourself into a good future. Over the years, I have witnessed many people with almost top grades dropping out and attending in other master's programs or looking for a job. They had good grades. So, what was the missing point? Once again, the support or fairness was the problem.
Unless you are an undergrad doing whatever Refet asks you to do and brown-nosing him or someone else and making them forget their difficulties they have in their private and social lives or you can swallow under-placing yourself even though you have 'stellar' grades just because most faculty members did not give a f**k, be my guest and attend Bilkent. Otherwis...See full poste, no. This is how market should punish Bilkent and make them think what is wrong with their program and attitudes.
Moreover, for the sake of completeness, none asked or argued why they do not bother placing low-quality students into top programs? Place people where they can place. Again, another case of one just vomiting what she/he thinks without any elaboration on others' opinions. If one adopts this attitude in his/her life that much, as the Turkish community here, let us help him finding a job in politics where she/he can enjoy these kind of fallacies freely.writing tons of paragraphs in this s**thole is itself a strong instrument for laziness.
