And Then There Were Practice Rounds

The BA lab hasn't seen each other much over the last few days. Most of our time has been occupied by six practice rounds designed to prepare students for the fast approaching camp tournament. The practice rounds have been complimented by lab sessions where students read their cases to the rest of the lab and were put through 6 minutes of cross examination by everyone, including the lab leaders. The students have recently learned this and many other drills designed to prepare them for a tournament. In our most recent meeting we learned the value of crystallization drills and knowing before the round what your in round strategy will be. On the brink of the tournament students are asking lab leaders the most effective ways to respond to the arguments they are anticipating. We wish all of the members of the BA lab luck, and hope to see them all in elimination rounds.
