4th Week: Busy Start, Decent Food

The fourth week option at the Concordia Debate Institute has started. On saturday the students watched a staff debate and received evidence. The fast track students had a practice round, drills, evidence distribution, topic specific Africa lecture and topic specific topicality lecture. Today they have attended sessions on micro and macro level refutation and topicality. They will finish their day with disads and another practice round. Kritik Institute students have had lectures on Post-Semiotics, Zizek (Revolution), Zizek (Lacan), Neo-Liberalism, and Borders. They have also had two practice debates. The food yesterday was great with subs then Chinese. The new Anderson Dining Room is open on Concordia's campus and the debate students were the first to test out the new facilities and the students loved the food! More to come tomorrow hopefully!
