I feel honored to find out this morning after I Googled my name that my PhD dissertation was cited several times in dissertation that was submitted by a former doctoral student of Middle East Technical University in Turkey. The author earned his/her PhD in 2009. I wonder how often dissertations from DL schools are used/cited by doctoral students of traditional universities in the United States.
Congrats, Dr. Okonkwo! I think it would be awesome when somebody uses your works as reference. That shows you have demonstrated your knowledge in the field. Unless somebody steals your work as his or her own.
Hi Bruce, Thanks. I visit this site from time to time and I have referred several people to Degreeinfo. Everyone that I have referred to Degreeinfo has a lot of good things to say about this site. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ike, Remember this thread http://www.degreeinfo.com/general-distance-learning-discussions/8998-i-cant-hide-any-more.html ? It was an inspiration to me. I also like the comment by Dr. Bear. So happy for your success. Roscoe
