Features:

  • A 1:10 staff/student ratio — and all students will work with all staff. 
  • Full, complimentary internet access. 
  • Videotape analysis of speeches and debates. 
  • A balanced program — students will learn how to debate for a variety of audiences — lay judge environments as well as “circuit” debate. 
  • A minimum of 15 fully critiqued practice rounds for each student (not to mention drills and reworks). 
  • A thorough introduction to the 2013-2014 policy topic and likely LD topics. 
  • An “absolute beginners” lab in each division of debate.
