I guess I meant that when I hear/read about people talking about how and why they used it and why it's so great, these are the examples they give. That it solved problems for them successfully, which I understand to mean they didn't have to take the time to learn how to do themselves.

Yes, making art is hard and takes time. Yes, reading poets' handwriting is difficult. Yes figuring out the bugs in your code is annoying. But flipping to the back of the book for the answers isn't learning: hitting limits and figuring out your way around them is.

Like so many recent computing advances, when I hear how people are using it, on the whole, it sounds like it's being used to remove friction and frustration.

Go lay down, it's the only solution!

I love cats much more than dogs, except when it comes to cleaning up food messes. Then I want to switch teams.

I'm going to need more updates as the feast continues; it's only getting better.

This was a few posts after yours, and now I feel like I'm at the greatest Thanksgiving dinner ever, with whip cream shooting everywhere, slightly acidicly:

I also am not entirely sure what day it is, having spent the last 24 hours in the air and ending up in India at 1:30am on a different day than I began the trip. Is it Thanksgiving yet??

We are such big Dylan fans in our family my sister got the CD for my dad in total seriousness and I still can't decide if it's a cynical commercial sell out or a weird side road hooking back to his Xian period or an experimental but sincere approach to reinterpreting standards.

He's wrong

Thank you SO much for following along and for getting the labor (and love) behind it!

I do remember having a summer job with the comp/rhet prof and it was analyzing surveys. A more soc sci approach to understanding learning?

It is at Berkeley and UCSB, at least the options I was teaching. I am sure there were other writing classes too. At USF as an adjunct, we had to teach from an assigned anthology of nonfiction. That course was clearly Jesuit inspired and focused on argumentation.

No, I meant trained as a writing teacher by a rhet/comp prof at UCSB.

The classes I took and taught, at private and public universities, were all generally framed as learning to write an essay through reading literature. Lots of focus on revision and building portfolios.

I was teaching and taking comp generally within English dept curric, except at USF.

What is your sense based on? Are you reviewing and comparing syllabi? Papers given at conferences?

I also taught rhet/comp at Univ of San Francisco, that was the most rhet focused v literary.

I taught comp at UCSB & through the fall program for freshmen at Berkeley, & was a student at Wellesley who took a writing intro my 1st year (25 years ago).

I was trained in comp pedagogy by a rhet/comp prof, strong emphasis on revising both as a student and teacher.
