The first week of workshop comes to a close

Saturday marked the end of the first half of workshop. While the lab regretted not being able to spend much time together, the time out of lab was well spent. Students attended lectures dealing with rebuttal strategies and international relations. During the lab meeting students worked in the computer lab to put the finial touches on their cases which is becoming increasingly important as official practice rounds start on Monday. To conclude the day the students were treated to a demo debate by staff members Tanya Choudhury and David Wolfish. The debate was followed by a brief lab in which we discussed the various strategies employed by the debaters. Both students and staff look forward to the late start tomorrow morning, and the chance to catch up on some well deserved sleep.
