Who are all these ABD people who are getting offers where they don’t even run a search? I’ve never heard of anything like this.

Oooh - this made me think about a possible new way to use it in class - have students present the videos of their process to the class with discussion/self annotation.

Oooh that would be very very cool and interesting. I feel like there are some cool art possibilities with it too.

Yeah- it’s pretty fool-proof so far- it also gives a lot of interesting info about the writing process- I’ve used it for my own work just to see what it looks like and it’s pretty cool.

I’ve had students use Google docs and the extension Write Human which creates a video of their writing process.

I assume the S is for “special student” in some capacity-since he is described as a special student? It seems he only attended briefly in 1930.
