Seeing this in a local uni website fucking hell boils my blood.
"How is your program different from the polytechnics'? I heard that both the university and the polytechnics are teaching the same thing. I also heard that polytechnic graduates are more employable and hands-on. We have a better balance in terms of theories and technical skills. Polytechnics are mostly skills-oriented. We have very good students who are typically more mature, intelligent, and hardworking. Therefore, professors can push them to do a lot more, and they are able to motivate and compete among themselves to achieve high standards. In addition, 90% of our faculty members have PhDs. A university degree is better regarded than a polytechnic diploma."
Hardcore stuck-up attitude. What makes you think that YOUR students "are TYPICALLY more mature, intelligent and hardworking"? Are you trying to hint something? That's not quite subtle may I remind you. It won't sound so bad if it says: "We have very good students who are typically mature, intelligent, and hardworking."
See the diff? Read it out loud again.
"We have very good students who are typically more mature, intelligent, and hardworking."
V.S.
"We have very good students who are typically mature, intelligent, and hardworking."
Tsk. I'm utterly disgusted.
