Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.
Side: Opposition

By doing classroom debate, we would be able to express ourselves with emotions which would help us to make the audience believe in us. However, through online debating, our feelings are not shown as the reader are facing a non-living thing, the computer so they would not understand how the debater is feeling. This would greatly affect the stand of the reader. With this, i disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating

I don't agree. Classroom debating is far more interesting compared to online debating. We can feel the teamwork during the classroom debating, but whereas for the online debating, it's more to individual work and talking to the computer screen. So in conclusion, classroom debating is more interesting.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.
Side: Opposition

I think that classroom debating is more interesting than online debating as we can feel the atmosphere and tension. In online debating, we are just talking to a computer so it is practically meaningless.

Sandra, 2E4In my opinion, classroom debating is much more interesting than online debates. In a classroom debate, there is much more interaction between the debaters and the 'floor', as compared to a debate online. We will be able to hear how the debate is like with our own ears and feel the tension and 'psyched-up' emotions for ourselves. For online debates, we are merely typing on our keyboards and seeing others' rebuttals on the computer screen. Hence, with more interaction between the people and being able to hear their debates, classroom debates are far more interesting than online debates. (:

We can feel the atmosphere when we have classroom debate. when having online debate, we cannot sense the tension. I oppose to online debate as people like me who type slow, it would be a disadvantage when having online debate

Classroom debates are more interesting. The atmosphere is more tense and this makes the process more exciting.During classroom debates we are speaking out, we can then stress out the main points and make our rebuttal more persuasive.

Jun Rong from 2e3I do agree to the statement "Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating" as classroom debates allow me to put my critical thinking skill into a test. This is because I would need to think of a rebuttal on the spot while online debating allows you to have more time to think of a rebuttal. Hence, classroom debate is more interesting than online debating and the motion must fall

Hi, this is Amanda Lim from 2e3.I disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.I feel that classroom debating is more interesting as we are able to see how the person look when he or she debates. At times, it is very interesting to see live debate, looking at what the debators' reactions are. On the other hand, online debating are just merely words. Secondly, online debating may not be safe. People who join in the debate may say very mean things to fight our stand. They may insult, scold vulgarities and others. These things may hurt people deeply. While in classroom debates, debators will becareful of what they will be saying. Trying best not to offend anyone.Thirdle,Classroom debates allow debators to think on the spot. This will help the debators in their thinking skills. But for online debates, debators do not really need to think very hard on how to fight the opponent's stand.The online debators would be a little more slack compared to classroom debators.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.
Side: Opposition

I disagree. As debating in class can allow the students to bond together better and it can train their thinking ability, as it allows them to think on the spot. If students debate online, they will have all the time in the world to think of a rebuttal or a question. While debating online students can just research online and just copy and paste from the source instead of thinking the rebuttal or the question themselves. When debating in class, students will have to think the rebuttal and question themselves and they would not be able to use the information from the source to rebut without thinking much as they would just copy and paste. Therefore, classroom debating is more interesting.

I agree with Yuen Siong.Debating can help us to hone our public speaking skills as well as our thinking skills as we have to think very quickly of rebuttalson the spot and say it out. Whereas in online debates, we are only typing out our replies and we have quite a long time to think about our rebuttals as we usually do not have to reply on the spot.

I disagree to what you say. I think that it is more challenging to debate in class as you can see that opponent. Online debating, you cannot see that opponent, hence it is not as challenging and interesting as class debating. :D

peiling XDi think that online debaring isn't very fun as you can't see the expression of your opponents and your own teammates. when we debate in the classroom, we can see the expression of them since we are facing them. It is live as we can see each other and when we debate behind the computer, we don't have the feeling of"debating".therefore, i think classroom debtaing is more fun.

Yi Tian from 2E3i disagree with the topic as i think that class debating is more intersting the online debating. in class, we can show our emontion when debating but online, we can only type out what we think and show others our stand, but nobody knows whether we truly mean the stand that we stood at. in class we can show emotion that can help in more convincing to the judges that we stand at our stand.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.
Side: Opposition

I disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating. This is because in online debating, we cannot express our thoughts with emotions and actions, whereas in classroom debating, we can express our opinions with hand gestures, facial expression and emphasis on words. For example, in online debates, we can only put emphasis on words by capitalizing the words LIKE THIS. We cannot put more emphasis on our points using hand gestures or facial expression. This is different as compared to classroom debating, where we can make our points stronger by emphasizing on them and including facial expression and hand gestures while expressing our thoughts.This is because in online debates, we only depend on the keyboard functions and word decorations such as bolding, italicizing and underlining. We can do so much more in classroom debating.Therefore, I believe that the motion must fall.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

I disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating as in the classroom, there are audience. This will give us the spine-tingling sensation. Students tend to get nervous and its nice to see how they get over it. In online debating, the atmosphere is more lay-back while classroom debate is more tense. Emotion, something that is not present in online debating, is also and important as it create a form of excitement in the debate. People can be enthusiastic. To be honest, we like to see people screw up and share laughters. Thats why the motion should fall.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

Online debating would definitely triumph when it came down to whether it would be more interesting or not. Online, we tend to be able to express ourselves better than during real-life, when we have the tendency to stutter during presentation. The pressure felt from the audience as you do your debate makes online debating a big plus. However, I still feel that classroom debating is much better. Within the class, the kind of atmosphere created during the debate can never be experienced online, where all you are facing is the computer screen. I feel that classroom debating would serve as a better opportunity for students to pluck up their courage and cultivate their speaking abilities, and to instill self-confidence in themselves as they deliver their points. Having self-confidence is extremely crucial when one has to step in to the real society and start working. It's also a way to stop computers and technology from dominating our world. Many students in our era tend to lack this, and I think we should find all sorts of ways to bring out the confidence from within. Nowadays, we can find almost anything just by switching on the computer. If even debating should be done online, then little can be done in real life! So I'd say that classroom debating would be much more beneficial.

Firstly, my definition of debating is that people from the different teams try to prove that their stand is the right one. In the debate they would not care about other people from the other team might hold a grudge against them. After all. if the people debating are so petty, they should not be a debater in the first place. I do not agree that online debating is more fun than classroom debating. In classroom debate, we can get to see who our opponents are, and since it is a classroom debate, we know that that person is our classmates and friends. So, we would not be that cautious about hurting one another feelings, and we are just having a friendly match. However, in online debate, we may be debating with someone from other places. A total stranger. Most people will be very cautious about their words around a stranger. Therefore, it may not be that fun online debating as people will be too scare of hurting one another feelings to be really debating.Therefore, i do not agree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

I disagree with online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.For me, I find online debating more difficult to express what I want to than classroom debating, practically, I think expressing them out by words that came from your mouth is easier than typing them out. Just what I'm facing now, lost for words, don't know what exactly should I write about. I find it more convenient by debating in the classroom, rather than facing a dead and lifeless computer, nothing seems to pop up from my brain.

I disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating. For classroom debating, you can hear what the other team has to say on the spot and you can debate on the spot where as online debating is just posting your stand on the net. Classroom debating can also train our public speaking skills and make us become better speakers where as online debating is just typing using our fingers and not mouth. Online debating can be interesting as students nowadays like to use the computer alot. But classroom debating is more challenging because there is time limit and you have to say what you think in 3minutes or so. The debate motion can hence finish faster. - KaiQi. :D

I do not agree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating. During online debating, people are using much time on typing what they want to say. Classroom debating makes the whole atmosphere fun and they would attract students attention more. Classroom debating is also more efficient as student could say whatever they want immediately. Students could not feel the 'debating' atmosphere during online debating. thus, i disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

I feel that classroom debating is much more interesting than classroom debating as the tone in our voice when debating can be felt and the enthusiasm from the debaters is important. This makes the debating atmosphere intense. However, in online debating, there are no actual voices and we are merely seeing the screen and debating. I believe that the atmosphere during debating is important and therefore, I feel that this stand must fall.

Hi, this is Farah from 2E3 =)I disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating. Firstly, in online debating there tend to be people who will continuously add comments that may be irrelevant to the debate. This include vulgarities, offending other people or gossiping. This may not help for the debate to go on smoothly and in a correct manner. Secondly, online debating requires views and perspective from different people, and such that there isn't any chairperson and timer, there will be a tendency to copy one another's answers. Also, some people will be inactive and not participate or take a longer time to answer, disabling the teacher to decide on the winner in a faster period of time. Thirdly, online debating is unable to train students to be more responsive, to project their voice or to encourage group work. This does not help people, especially the quieter ones, to be participative in orals. This also disables them to speak smartly in the future. Therefore, I think that online debating is not as interesting as classroom debating. =DDD

I am Lynette from 2E4. For this topic, I am strongly against it, as I personally feel that Classroom debate is far more interesting than Online Debate. For online debate, I can say that it is quite special, however, it is kind of like "boring". Facing in the computer debating, waiting for others to rebutt or support is a kind of foolish thing. Also, facing the computer for too long can harm your eyes, causing short-sighteness. In addition to this, it does not have any atmosphere or laughter, as what we can see or hear, compared to classroom debate. Whereas, on the other hand, for classroom debate, it is more fun, and I can gained more experience from it. It gives me a greater sense of inspiration, and a great sense of pride when debating. Facing real opponents in life is very different to online debating, with no one that you would face. This can be very reassuring. Besides that, classroom debate can really make me rebutt to opponents, and when I acheive something successful, I feel very proud of my achievement, the feeling is like when you reached a goal in your life. To compare and contrast with, online debate is so-called a "fake" debate, while classroom debate is so-called a "real" debate. When facing real opponents in life or classroom, it gives me a greater sense of motivation to rebutt to the opponents, until they are completely defeated. I gets encouraged whenever I strongly disagree with a point they rebutt on. So, to conclude, I feel that online debating is more interesting than classroom debate, as we need to be positive in life, and not be afraid of anything we do. This, we can feel that we have a goal in life. With this, I end my speech.

I think that classroom debating is much more interesting than online debating. Before the actual debate, you have to do research on your main points. Also, you have to think 'on the spot' so this would make the debate more interesting. If its done online, people can take ages to think of the reply and have ample time to 'refine' the answer. In classrooms, you don't get to do that, so your answer will be the first idea that you think of and this will train your thinking and oral skills. For debates, I don't think there's a need for videos because debating is all about speech. If you want to include evidence, you can print out the statitics related and show it. As such, I still think that face-to-face debating is much more interesting rather than facing a computer and typing.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

i disagree on this debate motion as online debating is not as interesting because during online debating we do not have the chance to see if the opponents are confident of their own answer. If they are not confident, it will not be shown on the net. Howhever, if it is debated face to face in classroom, we will be able to see if they are confident of their own reasons and rebuttal. Also, during classroom debating, we can time ourselves to rebutt the opponent within the time limit. Hence, i think that classroom debating is much more challenging and interesting than online debating.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

I disagree. When debating in class, you are able to see the opponent. The argument is much more interesting as you can see how they response to your points. When online debating you cannot see the opponent thus you cannot see how they react to your points.During online debating there is a time limit for the person to say out their points and rebut. This makes the debate much more interesting as you have to say all that you need to say with a time limit. When debating online you can take your time to debate.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

I disagree because classroom debate allows one to be fully prepared and depend on oneself , but online debating allows people to seek help from others , or 'gang' together to support their point. The students need to be fully prepared for the research as well as the rebuttals. Also , they need to find loopholes in people's point. Hence , class debating enforce the students with listening skills and also oral as they need to be clear on their stand. On the other hand , online debating doesn't help the students anything but reseach more and see who has a more detailed one.

I disagree that online debating is more interesting than classroom debating as firstly, you can see the expression of people during the debates which gives you a hint on what your opponent might be thinking while in online debates, you do not know what is the reaction of the person. Also, showing pictures and videos on the computer in class would take up alot of time.

Hello, i'm Lanjia from 2E4. I totally disagree with this point, of online debating is more interesting than classroom debating. Firstly, i think that debating in classrooms can allow students to ge the mood of excitement more, since its live on the spot presentation. Classroom debating make the speakers more nervous, thus everyone gets excited. They tend to speak faster so as to not exceed the time limit.
Debate: Online debating is more interesting than classroom debating.

I disagree. Classroom debating is much more exciting as there is audience- audience give feedbacks and ask tough questions. Debate as a team is better than online debating one to one as the others in the group can help to think of more ideas to rebut.

I disagree with this statement. I think that classroom debating is more interesting as it allows us to showcase our oral skills. We can experience the thrill of arguing with another team that is not possible in online debates. We are also able to speak wih feelings,emotions and experience which is not possible online.

i disagree to your point. who says it is not possible to have emotions online. yes it is true that we cannot speak with feelings and emotions online but we can still write with emotions and feelings online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a good writer can express his or her feelings through their writing, we may not necessarily need to speak out something in order to show our emotions and feelings. poems, for instance, we can really see the writer"s feelings and emotions. by the way, if you say that online debate is not interesting, why did you post this comment?-irfan 2e4

Jialing :DIn my opinion, i think that online debating is not as interesting as classroom debating. You cannot see the expression of your opponents when you managed to give a point which is very hard to rebut back. This feeling gives you a sense of sastification. Not only that, classroom debating is more interesting as it is "LIVE", while behind the computer screen, you can't respond to your opponent the second he/she post his/her argument up.In that sense, the feel is lost.In conclusion, i think that classroom debating is defenitely more interesting than online debating.
