VHS Movie Reviews of The Standard Deviants: English Composition [VHS]
Movie Review: Excellent Educational Video Series
Summary: 5 Stars
No matter what any critic says, the Standard Deviants products are incredibly articulate and convey the knowledge of their topics well. They have integrity and even throw in some humor to lighten the subjects up. People who call the humor cheesy need to lighten up and broaden their sense of humor. This isn't Seinfeld, so dont expect it to be. Expect a concise and well organized approach to the subjects that they teach. I not only endorse this product, but the entire range of Standard Deviants products.
What irritates me, is the ridiculous amounts of poor reviews because someone thinks the humor is corny. Humor is supposed to be corny, that's why it's funny. If it was serious, then it wouldn't be funny.
Summary of The Standard Deviants: English Composition [VHS]
English Composition is a great tape for anyone - students and non-students alike - who wants to write a terrific paper or polish his or her writing skills. This tape will teach you everything from stating and supporting a position, to collecting supporting information and writing a thesis statement. The Standard Deviants will help you become a better writer in no time!As with other Standard Deviants videos, this one begins with the warning that English Composition is meant to be used in conjunction with a class, not as a replacement. Well, for once, ignore them. Sure, nothing can replace an English comp class, and everyone should take one, but this video is probably the most valuable one you could watch before beginning your high school or college career. In fact, even for those in the real world, English Composition can help you brush up on your writing skills. Whether you need to write a lab report, a critical review, or a case study or summarize professional articles, this video gives you the know-how to write an effective paper from brainstorming through revision.
Nathan is your typical college freshman. Through confessional-style interviews, we learn of his traumas and achievements writing his first university assignment. From the moment his teacher gives him his assignment, we watch Nathan as he churns out--and rejects--a number of ideas. We share his satisfaction when he narrows his choices down. We share his pain at his not-great critique. We share his joy at his final rewrite. Okay, so maybe we're getting a little carried away--but using Nathan, humorous skits (including a genie who grants wishes), and clever graphics, the Standard Deviants cover characteristics of academic prose, getting started, collecting information, outlining, rough drafts, feedback, and lots of revision in a jocular way. Included with the tape is an insert that shows not only Nathan's assignment, but the three versions of his paper, which incorporate the changes he's made. --Jenny Brown
