Who has the best signature block?

.

 

I don't remember who it is, but the one with the chocolate colored puppy, it is adorable!

 

Mine has several schools, but I used small font. I patterned mine after "Howard"

 

I could add more like-
MCP
MCP+Internet
MCSE
MCSA
Network+
A+

 

Finally, some are beginning to recognize the utility of a PowerPoint Certificate.........................

MBA, PowerPoint Certificate -- what's the difference? ::duck::

 

Re: Re: Re: Who has the best signature block?

Not much, really! My PowerPoint Certificate (PPC) from a regionally accredited college required the following:

1. Purchase of a textbook ($29).
2. Twenty (20) hours of classroom instruction.
3. Ten (10) hours of labwork.
4. Final Project Demanding Excellence (FPDE)
5. Oral Defense (Class Presentation of FPDE)
6. Interaction with a cohort of nine (9) other students.
7. Tuition fee of $60.

An MBA from www.americancollege.com can be earned for much less than that, although the cost is a wee bit more.

 

And for $249, American College gives you a PhD (JoAnn forget all your worries about the right CS PhD) - and with alll these benefits according to their site:

Theocentric education.

Facility in lecturing for metaphysical organization.

Knowledge in conducting your own seminars.

Dignity and respect in the practice of theocentric counseling.

Increased salary or chance of promotion.

Expertise in metaphysical personal problem counseling.

Ministerial status enhanced by a Doctoral degree.

Increased self-esteem and respect from others.

Heightened credibility in any practice of spiritual healing in which you may become engaged. Psychologically, the title "Doctor" and the word "healing" have a natural affinity in one's mind.

Enhanced prestige and respect.

 

Dr. Gina has a picture of the dog. I misread the question...I thought you said the biggest signature block.

Must have been a Freudian slip

 

Hey! For $25, I can get a Doctor of Divinity, Metaphysics or Motivation from Universal Life Church. $30-55 will get you a Doctor of Immortality, Religious Science, Religious Humanities or Biblical Studies and $100 (and getting a 75% or higher in their "course") will get you a PhD in Religion. And they will throw in a free ordination!

An interesting deal for a worthless degree. You could probably come up with something just as useful with a good desktop publishing program, a decent inkjet printer and some parchment.

Russell,

I have taught PowerPoint at the university level since 1995 and it sounds like your training was pretty complete. You could cover pretty much everything that the program can do in that much time. I would love to see an example of one of your presentations.

Gotta go with Russell's powerpoint one. Much funny.

 

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Who has the best signature block?

I use PowerPoint every week and have found it to be very user-friendly. You know, the odd thing is that I have yet to be asked the question, "Did you get your PowerPoint training at a regionally accredited institution?"

If one completed a PowerPoint course via an unaccredited institution, then began to implement PP in a non-academic sector (e.g., business, church, etc.), would the course/training/knowledge have utility? If so, what level of utility could one expect?

 

A few insignificant observations:

1. I am amazed that the question was even asked. The word that comes to mind is cocksmanship - as in, "My signature block is bigger than yours." Or, "Okay, everyone whip out your signature blocks so we can compare size."

2. I am amused that someone actually wrote, "PhD - Northcentral University - currently applying." That's almost as good as the days when a well-known denizen of this forum wrote, "PH.D. Candidate, MIGS" before he had even applied. An application on a signature block, let alone on a C.V., is absurd.

3. This thread provides yet another example of how people can't stay on track. The original topic was signature blocks - not Powerpoint.

4. This is yet another example of the old adage, "When you've got it, flaunt it." When you've really "got it," you don't have to flaunt it.

For what it's worth, I've never felt the need to use a signature block. But if I did, the credential I still enjoy the most is "C.D.L." (If y'all don't know what that means, you've been spending too much time in the ivory tower. And if y'all don't know what an ivory tower is, you haven't been spending enough time there.)

Actually Commercial Drivers License – it covers more than just trucks.

and if he was driving for Mothers's Cookies - he would be a ......

 

Ummm, let's see, a few further observations:

1. We are in the off-topic forum, so pretty much anything goes. I took the question "Who has the best signature line?" to mean, not "who has the biggest or most," but "who has the best," as in originality or uniqueness.

2. The thread is indirectly related to PowerPoint, for the original post lists PowerPoint in the signature line. Since I am extremely proud of my PowerPoint certificate, earned at a regionally accredited institution I might add , and since the certificate is proudly listed in my signature line, I saw a definite correlation with the topic of the thread.

3. The "PhD, currently applying" signature is for the purpose of this forum, not a formal resume/CV. Others have listed similar aspirations.

4. This thread provides an example of how thread topics are interpreted from different vantage points.

5. The CDL allows one to drive a big rig through the state of Oregon. Just make sure the CDL is not from St. Regis University, or you may spend a few days incarcerated.

 

I'll throw my signature block in as a contestant. I've seen no other like it on this website. If you do, they're copying me.

 

Steve's right. Although I had already been assured of admittance with candidacy, I had not yet formally applied. It was inaccurate for me to list it that way until the paperwork had gone through. Eagerness to get on with it, and striving for something I had not yet achieved. It's not flattering. But little about MIGS was.

Regarding signature blocks, I have abandoned them. The substance of the post is the issue, not my academic background. But I put it in every once in awhile when it is relevant to the post I'm sending. More and more, however, it seems not worth bothering with. Here's the long one (academic degrees earned only):

Richard C. Douglas
A.A.S, Education Administration and Methodology, Community College of the Air Force
A.A., Liberal Arts, The University of the State of New York
B.S. (Business), The University of the State of New York
B.A. (Concentration in Sociology), The University of the State of New York
M.B.A., National University
Ph.D. (Concentration in Higher Ed.; Specialization in Nontraditional Higher Ed.) Union Institute and University

 

I am preferential to my signature block - hoping to help keeping my fellow degree seekers motivated by posting my current credit tally ... it will soon be jumping from the current 62 credits to around 90 or so - a whole bunch of stuff about to hit.
