Helping Students to Develop Their Oral Communication Skills by Means of a Debate. John Norwood - Accounting. Employers tell us that one of the most important skills students should develop is the ability to make effective oral presentations. Their debate partner is self-selected, or in some cases appointed by me. I choose the opponents.
Judges are the instructor, along with classmates who volunteer to judge for extra credit.
Debates are conducted outside of the regular class time. Wally Cordes and Jim Wisman - Chemistry. The complete book of abstracts is available at the Teaching and Faculty Support Center. Please call or stop by if you would like a copy. We in the Center cannot provide the expertise but we can provide a place for the interest group to meet and a soft drink.
