The last two days of the Andertzig lab have been intense. On Wednesday morning and afternoon, students debated a full round in front of instructors, followed by extensive comments on their cases and rebuttal strategies. That evening, they received a lecture on CX strategies from Josh and Chetan, and then proceeded to participate in a practicum in which one student read a case and the other students cross-examined her, attempting to put into practice the strategies they'd just learned. In addition, labs featured different kinds of flowing drills designed to hone various skills, including the ability to comprehend speed reading, write down words without vowels, and process information without flowing all of it.
On Thursday morning, the students were broken into groups and were asked to regive a rebuttal (either the NC refutation or the 1AR) from their round. Following the rebuttal, they received comments on how to improve their issue selection, time allocation, and word economy, and were given an opportunity to practice regiving the speech in less time. That afternoon, they participated in their second debate round, and again received extensive feedback on their performances from instructors. Last night, after a discussion on solvency issues in LD, students participated in case conferences with Chetan and Josh, and also did rebuttal drills for Mr. Timmons.
Today's shoutout goes to Paul Tyger, who managed to drastically revise his AC over the course of the day after receiving comments on it from instructors. Good going!
