WEEK ONE IS OVER? Say it ain't so...

 

 

It's already Saturday night and all eight of our students have amazing work ethic and dedication! Touche! The morning started out with riveting lectures; either rebuttals II with the esteemed Steff and Tanya or weighing with the TOC champ David. Then it was off to drill labs, our lab personally read a case then gave the students a couple minutes to prepare rebuttals/weighing. They were attentive and did a superb job! Next was an international relations theory lecture by Mr. Wolfish, complete with diagrams and funny jokes. After lunch we had lab. In lab we went of the process of writing a syllogism, Paul had a really good idea which he will bust out sometime tomorrow! Then we practiced on how to make our cases unbeatable. Let's just say we now have an eight step system, the other labs should be skurred. After we collectively developed the "EIGHT STEP SYSTEM" we went to the computer lab to put our plan into action! Then it was time for article group. Dinner was especially tasty tonight,  I personally enjoyed a slice of cheese pizza, which tasted as if it was prepared by four star Italian chefs, followed by a self-made ice cream cone. It was Bon Apatite for our lab! Then it was a demonstration debate between David (aff) and Tanya (neg) on the camp topic (healthcare). I have to say, it was AMAZING. They both acted with professionalism, ethics and intelligence. I have been thinking about the round for over an hour an I still can’t decide who won! It was a really educational round. Student now have a much better idea of how to present the arguments in there cases and rebuttal speeches. Then we had lab where students chose which electives they wanted to attend tomorrow. Alls well in the BD lab.
