New Class - Civics and Debate

Postby Darkness on Mon Jan 04, 2010 4:03 pm

Class will be held twice a month on Monday afternoons at 2SLT or as the professor's schedule allows. Students will earn a grade by debating topics in class actively. Responses will be timed in real time. Topics will be generated on Friday, so yes, like real students if you wish to cram, do it, if you wish to wing it like a Cartman book report, go for it. Participants will rotate, and don't think, for those characters I know I won't be choosing topics that perhaps your characters are passionate about.


I look forward to finding our future politicians in waiting...

Ooh, sounds interesting. Also, sounds like work.

I need a class roster, if I have enough "i'm ins" by Thursday I will pick two debaters and a topic which will be PM'd and then announced on this thread.

Ooo this sounds awesome! I don't know if Ellis would come to a class taught by Anjel though. Actually--he would. Ellis can't turn down a good opportunity to be an opinionated asshole...

count me in.

Our first debaters then will be Aizzel and Agnes.


its a day early but your topic is: Gun ownership. You have have a prepped opening post, and each will then be able to rebuttal the other's points.


Everyone is invited to attend
