Overview of Requirements
Students must compete in tournaments during the course of both Semesters in order to receive course credit! They must also attend at least one novice tournament and serve as a judge and assist the new competitors.
Overview of Requirements
- Judge at a novice tournament
- Compete in tournaments
- Tournaments should be spread out throughout the semester. In other words, try to avoid doing them all in November or all in December. Students are always welcome to attend more than the suggested 3 tournaments!
- Participate in in-class debates and presentations; a large portion of your grade will be based on speaking in-class. Beware that missing block period on a regular basis will hurt your grade as this is when points may be awarded for in-class debates and speaking.
- Meet the individual assignment requirements for the event in which you choose to participate. These assignments will involve research and writing both inside and outside of class.
