As the cases come together...

It's fairly commonplace to wake up to an argument about cold pancakes, missing socks, and broken Pop-Tarts, but only at UNT did students begin their day with a lecture on advanced argumentation about the merits of providing healthcare. Thursday began with lectures on both Rebuttals and Advanced Argumentation followed by lab where students were given the opportunity to prepare cases using the skills from their morning lecture. Before lunch, the students met with their Article Groups and discussed whether people had a right to a decent minimum of healthcare. The students were given an extended period of time after lunch to do focused research in the library with all of the lab leaders available to answer questions and guide students in the right direction. Library time was followed by lectures on Distributive Justice and Communitarianism and their applications to debate. After dinner, labs met again with many utilizing the computer lab to continue research and continue working on and finishing their cases. Students will spend the next two days finishing their cases before practice rounds begin on Sunday.
