The Rule of Three: Clint Eastwood, the Chipmunks, and the Declaration of Independence

This excerpt is taken from a writing workshop put on for University of Michigan law students in the fall of 2014. The workshop was taught by Professor Patrick Barry, who previously won the Wayne Booth Prize for Teaching Excellence at the University of Chicago. The videos were filmed and edited by Brian Genoa.

On the topic of alliteration, this guy's (Professor Barry) voice sounds just like Berry B. Benson the bee from Bee Movie :)

Professor Barry, I will be blunt, your public presentations on RUclips are better, smoother, and more engaging than your Coursera videos.
Your pauses are unnatural on Coursera. However, the content is amazing.
