Comment[edit]

The stuff at the bottom about "do or die" is largely false. In fact, the PhD program would often grant masters degrees to PhD students who had reached ABD status, sometimes in the interests of allowing them to get higher salaries at summer jobs. I recieved such a masters degree about half way through my study there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.173.250.82 (talk • contribs).

  • Was that during the 80s? It's certainly the case now that they give masters degrees for finishing most of the PhD requirements, but I had heard that this practice is somewhat new. — brighterorange (talk) 16:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above comment: the CS department was not "do or die" when I was there (from 1974-1978). I got my Ph.D. in 1978, but was given a Masters in 1976 because I had progressed far enough in the program by then. Unless someone can show that the policy changed in the 1980s, I have to say that the section should be removed or severely edited. strubin (talk) 17:47, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking off that silly "citation needed" in the introduction - whoever put that there, please learn to use google AND wikipedia. CMU has a lot of research in those areas, if you really want to cite something, just go to each of the research centers and paste the links here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rawringtiger (talk • contribs) 02:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These need to be provided before the citation needed template is removed. We need to provided references in the article, not direct readers to search google to verify them. Also, please see wikipedia's policy on assuming good faith. Thanks 13:28, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

POV[edit]

"It ranks as one of the best Computer Science programs in the world." seems POV to me. If such a claim is to be made, then there should be citations to actual rankings. Other similar claims seem to be made without citation as well. --Shimei 03:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added link to U.S. News and World Report --Jrc 23:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Let me guess, you must be from MIT? Well, four programs are tied for #1 for CS.
Either way it looks like "one of the top computer science programs" is fair so, I've removed the NPOV tag Nloth 06:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There's other stuff that's flowery and should be fixed/made more declarative --Matt 03:38, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please point these out - it looks pretty much okay to me. Nloth 06:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

Should the articles on the organizational units of the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science be merged into that same parent article? Viriditas (talk) 07:24, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Details

Hello. Upon reviewing a GA nomination for the Human-Computer Interaction Institute, I came across the following related articles:

After looking closely at these articles, I'm not seeing a need for them apart from one paragraph summaries in this main article. The longest of these articles, Carnegie Mellon Human Computer Interaction Institute, is mostly promotional, duplicates some content from this article, and is sourced to primary sources. The rest are perma-stubs. Viriditas (talk) 06:51, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I see no objection to merging them and if they are not merged, they really need some NPOV editing as they stand. In fact they still would need it if they were merged, preferably by someone not connected with any of those institutions. JonRichfield (talk) 08:39, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree, it would be better to merge them. They definitely need to have some NPOV editing.JSR (talk) 10:41, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Partial Support/Comment I definitely agree with merging the four stub articles. I'm not sure on the Human-Computer Interaction Institute; it might be possible to repair that one with some secondary sources (it does have one such already).
