Today was a sensational day in the K(F)C lab. Just to clarify, K is for Koshy and C for Choudhury; I volunteered to be F in order to complete the acronym. In general, I am pleased to say that our students have thus far demonstrated outstanding work-ethic, patience, and diligence. After kicking off the morning session with brief introductions and the name game, we began our instructional program with flowing, perhaps the most essential skill in LD debate. By the end of our first lab, students were writing in columns, abbreviating, and color-coding (a skill that should be applied to David Wolfish's wardrobe, he needs help). We also covered the purpose of each speech in a typical LD round and delved into some basic topic analysis on the UNT resolution. Students have already begun mandatory as well as self-initiated reading.
