The weekly debates will be the main discussion assignment for this course. Instead of prewritten discussion questions as you have had in other classes, the instructor will initiate a debate by posting a current issue or event to the Discussion Area. The topics to be debated will be dependent on the area of government covered in a week.
The main goal of this form of learning is to encourage open interaction, to reveal current information on social and political issues and events using appropriate sources, and to develop administrative skills in decision making and leadership.
To be successful in the debate process, Week 1 will include a discussion and overview of the debate process and the setting of ground rules. These ground rules will be agreed upon by all participants. From Week 2 onwards, the instructor will assign two debate topics.
