Some Notes on Remaining Debates

We only have a few more debates left and as such I want to outline my expectations:

1. You must fill your time -- Except where you have been notified (on Nov 25, we are having 6 speakers), you are expected to talk for 15 minutes. If you do not fill your time slot, you will have points off. ANYTHING LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AND YOU WILL LOSE 10 POINTS OFF YOUR GRADE.

2. You must turn in your CORRECTLY FORMATTED TEST QUESTIONS BY THE NEXT CLASS PERIOD. You will lose points if you turn it in late.

3. NO MORE MAKE-UP DEBATES will be scheduled. If you do not contact me ahead of time and/or do not have an excellent excuse for not doing so, you will receive a 0 for your debate. If you do contact me ahead of time with a legitimate reason for missing a debate, I will discuss other arrangements. It is at my discretion as to whether a reason is legitimate or not. Your classmates are depending upon you to do your part and make your presentations.

4. I expect the quality of your presentations to be higher the second time around. You have had more time to research and you have had plenty of examples to view in class. Please rise to the occasion and provide clear, well-researched arguments that are on point.
