I cant find this movie anywhere online but I want to see it really bad but 30 dollars seems like a waste to watch something once =/

@WarrenAch its pretty important to know who is a gunner and who is asking professor question because he is really having a hard time on some matter. the one who bashes every single hand raiser is an idiot himself but it really isn't difficult to distinguish between a sincere and dedicated student and a showoff.....

Bang.

hehehehehee im the gunner in my class

In an average Law Class, there's about 8-15 students who don't understand shit.
So if one of those "gunners" raise their hand to ask a question, these 8-15 shy students will end up understanding something.
Why the fuck caring about this ? Most of the people who raise their hand and ask questions to UNDERSTAND the fucking material end up in the top 10% sooner or later.

@maxdelsoin good point(s), but still, what about the guy who speaks every class despite others who are willingly participating?

@AoCNacht Good point

Okay the dude in the blue shirt outside at harvard is probably a gunner. Just hear that machine gun go!!
And I'll add that this video doesn't distinguish between the intelligent gunner and the idiot who thinks they are intelligent.
Its one thing if the person speaks up and says something on point that is good to have in your notes - its another when the idiot speaks up and everyone knows the person is wrong or doesn't understand at all.
But I suppose its all a matter of perspective.

If in a class of 50 to 80 people, only 1 or 2 speak up, then it seems to me that the answer is to have 5 or 6 people join the conversation. The Socratic Method presume interaction and a unilateral discussion. The people who do NOT speak up actually create the vacuum filled by the so-called gunner.
