The beginning of electives

Organized activities began at 2pm today with Article Group in order to give the students Sunday morning off. The Article Groups discussed whether the government should provide healthcare or leave it up to free market forces. After Article Group, students were given their first opportunity to choose elective lectures to attend. Since the first week covered many core topics in lectures, the second week of the camp will offer electives so students can choose topics in which they want to improve. During the first elective slot today, students attended lectures on Topicality, Flowing Tips, Processing Evidence, Preparation at Tournaments, or the Marketplace of Ideas. The second elective slot gave the choices of the 2AR, Pre-Modern to Post-Modern Thought, Big Picture coverage, Golden Rules of Case Writing, and Adapting to TOC Style. After the special pizza dinner, frisbee, and volleyball during dinner, students met with their labs and put the finishing touches on their cases in anticipation of their critiqued practice rounds beginning tomorrow morning.
