***Please be advised that there are no Zoom meetings in the Project Week (November 22-26). Registration for our exam opens during the Project Week, so please register by the deadline on PSSO!***
- make it a priority to find a partner for the exam and decide on a prepared debate question together. One of the partners should send me an email including 1) both partners full names, 2) the prepared debate question (must be in the form of a question; do NOT send me a mere topic/debate category), 3) the dates/times you would prefer your 30-minute time-slot to be scheduled during (time-slots are given on a first-come, first-served basis, but I cannot make any guarantees that you will receive your "first pick" time-slot).
- prepare the following two debate questions for our next session (both stem from previous exams): "Should higher education be tuition free?" and "Should personal finance be a mandatory subject in schools?" Please seek out quantitative and qualitative data. Keep a list of the sources you consult in compiling data and arguments for the questions (hopefully, they are sources/outlets you can use for your own prepared debate question as well).
- read the file "words for discussions" and do exercises 16.1, 16.3, 16.9, 16.11, and 16.12 from the "words for discussions exercises 1 of 2" and the "words for discussions exercises 2 of 2" files. Check your answers using the file "words for discussions answer key". Bring any questions you have with you to our next session.
- read the file "Can we trust online reviews" and prepare to debate this question next week in a 5-minute debate in which you consider reviews other than product reviews.
Make sure you're prepared to debate the following questions in next week's class:
1. Should higher education be tuition free?
2. Should personal finance be a mandatory subject in schools?
3. Can we trust online reviews?
