Have you ever lost an argument you knew you were right about? Or struggled to explain why something that seems obvious to you isn't so obvious to everyone else? Debate is the key skill you can improve. Whether you want to convince your mom to extend your curfew, talk your teacher into giving you an extension, or one day argue in a boardroom or courtroom, the ability to make a compelling case is one of the most powerful skills you can have. In this class, you'll learn how to construct arguments, dismantle weak ones, and communicate your ideas with clarity. First, we'll explore the science behind persuasion, how logic, evidence, and reasoning work together to build a compelling case. Second, the art of delivering it: reading your audience, finding the right words, and portraying confidence in the words you deliver. Through hands-on debates, real-world examples, and collaborative exercises, you'll develop skills that go far beyond the classroom.
