In this class, students will write informative or persuasive speech and research arguments in favor of legislation that they can relate to through research skills—such as evaluating and quoting credible sources and mastering presentation techniques for speeches and debates. This course is best for students with prior speech and debate experience; beginners should consider our Intro to Public Speaking and Debate course. Attendance is critical, as there are no make-up options. (Note: $15 material fee)
