In the linked excel contains two sheets, 1st sheet is the debate topics and adjudicator assignments, second sheet for the rubric. All debaters, adjudicators, and topics have been randomized.
Please note your allocated dates (there's also a date for our long test).
Each student should: study, download, print, and cut the rubric form. Distribute forms on debate day. One per student adjudicator, the third is mine. Make sure you write your name.
The rubric tells you of what is expected during the debate. Please read as you prepare.
Adjudicators, make sure to write your names. The last two rows are for students who will give POI's. Write their names and evaluate their points.
Important points to remember.
Each debater has 5 minutes to talk.
Each POI is allowed a maximum of 20 seconds to make his or her point.
The topics are not motions. They are just guides. Make a proposal based on the topic assigned to you and based on the lessons from the book and from my class discussion.
Imagine being in a symposium or a conference where you are presenting your idea to the world. Imagine Charles Darwin or St. Thomas or any philosopher. None of their ideas immediately get accepted. Make sure you propose something new, something creative, something that can be a springboard for ideas.
Make sure that you organize your ideas and that you signpost. (E.g. I have 3 arguments supporting my proposal. First...)
You can say that in many ways.
The link can only be accessed if you use your official UST Gmail account. I'm doing this so that I can contribute to making you get used to using that email. Having a professional email is important now that you are here in college. Imagine giving your email to another student or to a professor, or to a potential employer. An email like rmcastillo@gmail.com is good. But an institutional email such as rmcastillo@ust.edu.ph is better.
Good on preparing.
