[lovelplants]

yaeh so helpful.. really. ty

[Vaipan]

I think those criticizing the research these men do must as a preliminary both state their area of research and a concise explanation of why it's more important.

I tried to follow what Elbow meant to communicate, but I gave up.

This is much better than the Thai government television.

Merci beaucoup.

these are horrible educators they no nothing about about writing

[Pankratzila8]

@kaligrs Is this comment a joke?

[live1excellence]

Elbow, Hillocks, and Bazerman have done a great service to the field of composition, teachers of writing, and their students. Chuck's comments on writer's making local judgment (around 21:00 minutes) point to the difficulties involved in writing research.

almost entirely garbage

[arnthorla]

A waste of time. The speakers make sense in reverse order. 1st is full of shit and 3rd makes a few useful comments. But all that should be said in 5 minutes not 50 plus. This might be more useful for some teachers.

[ZachClooney]

@arnthorla Thank you so much 'arnthorla'. You have indeed saved me so much time. A good intention for a discussion, utterly wasted.

2:18 to 2:58: clearly, this is the possessed demonic version of Charles Bazerman WHO WILL CARVE YOUR FACE OFF AND EAT YOUR SOUL. He's a lot nicer in person and when he's giving the keynote address at CCCC.

This is by far the worst UC video I've ever seen. It's not for writers, it's for academics who think they're writers. An exercise in mental masturbation.

[djweinstein]

Viewers should be warned: this video is long on preliminaries. However, I thank its producers and participants for the following insight: the most satisfactory writing, appears to result from sensitive, experienced human judgement exercised in different ways at different points in a writing process, and most productively in the presence of a caring and curious audience.

@Island.....what do you know about comp research or the teaching of writing? These are 3 of our best scholars, and their work is worthy of great respect. Go be an ignorant troll somewhere else.

[ISLANDOFSANDPUB]

Should be called fifty years of bullshit and why no one learns to write at school.

[bongolongo]

The host is intolerably poor at speaking. He's rushing and totally without rhythm!

[MrRedwings80]

I like this

[killnillvol33]

wow the 1st guy who's bein introduced looks crazy as hell.

[fathead8489]

Very cool.

Is there a way to get this with closed captioning?
