David is silly, We are all Jews, and It's goin' down

LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMMBLE! Today labs were given the first chance to actually debate a whole round with their cases, but with a twist. The labs was formed into teams of twos and threes that affirmed and negated. The point of the exercise was to highlight how strategy and planning ahead is effective in wining rounds. Rounds were followed by discussions, and then students went to article groups. After dinner students were eager to attend a demonstration round on the workshop topic. The round featured the David Wolfish on the affirmative versus
Tanya Choudhury on the negative. The substance of the round featured a classic utilitarianism versus deontology, illustrating that classic arguments are just as effective as critical theory. After the rounds, students broke up into labs to further discuss the round, and signed up for which electives they wanted to attend in the upcoming week.
