UTNIF is in the first half of the summer and is amazing for the K. The K really did start out there, and their faculty will ensure that you become well-versed on the K. When I was there, JV, Claire, and Teddy were my lab leaders. I remember after a practice debate how confused I was with one of the Ks that had been put out, and JV sat down and talked with me and my partner for a few hours about what the K was saying along with the best ways to answer it. Teddy was similarly a K genius, getting me ready to go on the disciplinary power K. And after having Claire as my coach for 4 years, I can confirm that she's ridiculously knowledgeable when it comes to the K - she's the one I'd go to whenever I had a question about what a piece of K evidence says.

8 would be absolutely amazing, 4 too. but really all of those seem pretty sick.

I recently started up microsoft word in "safe mode" - all of my macros were deleted, along with the "debate" ribbon at the top. Is there any way to fix this/get the macros back? In case there isn't, I've started to try to find some of the macros I had + rekeybind them. However, every time I press "f1" to bind, it brings up the "windows help" window (and then doesn't let me bind)....does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

The Middle School Debate Teacher/Coach teaches seventh and eighth grade debate and one or two middle or upper school classes in a discipline such as English or history; coaches the middle school debate team; shares weekend debate tournament responsibilities with the director of debate; and advises a small group of middle school students.

updates anyone?

It's hard to tell whether or not the decision was legit if you didn't see the round. Both teams are obviously extremely good.
-
clearly this was not the case...
-
not only that, it's arguably not competitive.
-
Assuming I have permission from the debaters, does anyone know if taping rounds is allowed?

I've never heard a critique; Can someone thoroughly explain them?

epistemology = knowledge production, the way you have come to acquire knowledge and the way you interpret that knowledge -
yes, but if you don't have the newest ev describing why we're losing the war and answers to the new neg CPs (and even in some cases, DAs [india DA, minerals DA]) that come out every tournament then you will not be as successful as you would be if you were reading another aff
