MIDTERM EXAM
Class Debate
For
your midterm exam for Post-truth: Constructing Realities class, you will
be debating a proposition in four groups (three of 5 and the other of 4) (check
your group below). You will choose a proposition topic, a position of either
negative or affirmative, and a specific role within your group will be decided
by your group as well. Each team member is responsible for a section of the
debate, but you will be graded (and judged) as a group by the professor.
Therefore, you must work collaboratively on the preparation of the debate as a
whole. The debate should last somewhere between 30 to 45 minutes.
Following,
I will be suggesting different topics based on the movie “The Great Debaters” since this movie touches upon different themes of the post-truth era or
either the topics we have seen in class regarding post-truth, parrhesia or relativism. The idea is that your group and your counterpart
will decide on one of those topics by this Friday September 6th the
latest, post your topic on the blog so that everyone is aware of them and assume a position of either in favor or against (Group 1 VS Group 2/ Group 3 Vs Group 4) (these positions have been provided to you below)
Possible
topics:
- Racial Discrimination
- Fake news
- Lies in politics
- Everyone lies no matter what
- Is it possible to practice parrhesia nowadays?
- Honesty is a utopia. Don’t you agree?
Once
the topic has been selected officially by the whole group, we will engage in
the following debate structure where there is a specific role for each member
of the team:
1. Name a chair in each group.
2. Plan arguments with your team.
Each member of the group should plan their arguments separately so they do not
influence other team members.
3. Cross out any repetitive
arguments and improve those that may need it.
4. Divide the arguments amongst the
number of speakers, so that each team member has a particular topic to develop
as part of the argument.
5. Find evidence to support your
case – facts, opinions, quotes, references or objects.
6. Hints for refuting or rebutting
arguments (finding holes in the other team’s arguments):
7. Try to guess beforehand what the
other team might use.
8. Take note of the authorities
quoted by the other team in support of their arguments – are they valid?
9. Don’t waste valuable time in
challenging a minor point.
10. Challenge the opposing team to supply
further evidence for their arguments, if needed.
Since I am fully aware that this coming week is for midterms, I
propose to use the time of the class on Friday September 6th where
you have the chance to meet synchronically and bring your arguments to prepare
within your team. Then, the debate will take place on September 20th
during our class schedule. You may either meet with your classmates somewhere
within the campus or come to the Language Center where I will open one of the
Labs for you to work.

following is a website with more information regarding “How to debate”.
