  • Too Many PhD Graduates or Too Few Academic Job Openings

    Open AccessRichard C Larson, Navid Ghaffarzadegan et al.ARTICLESystems Research and Behavioral…2014

    The academic job market has become increasingly competitive for PhD graduates. In this note, we ask the basic question of ‘Are we producing more PhDs than needed?’ We take a systems approach and offer a ‘birth rate’ perspective: professors graduate PhDs who later become professors themselves, an analogue to how a population grows. We show that the reproduction rate in academia is very high. For example, in engineering, a professor in the US gradu…

    Zoltan Szabo, Zoltan Gendler Szabo et al.REVIEWThe Philosophical Review1997Cited by: 1

    Current textbooks in formal semantics are all versions of, or introductions to, the same paradigm in semantic theory: Montague Grammar.

    Open AccessRichard C LarsonARTICLEJournal of Research in Music…1977Cited by: 6

    This study investigated the competencies of undergraduate music majors in the three aural skills of melodic error detection, melodic dictation, and melodic sightsinging. Three criterion-referenced aural tasks were developed for comparative evaluation of these competencies within the single musical parameter of pitch for diatonic, chromatic, and “atonal” melodic styles. Significant relationships were obtained among nearly all task and subtask scor…
