Debate Procedure

The debate will take the form of timed inpidual and/or group presentations and responses

separated by timed group work periods. The rules applied may deviate from the formal rules of debating. When questions arise, the judgment of the instructor will provide the definitive ruling.

at the front of the room. Each team is to write its team name, debate position, and debate

position statement on the blackboard behind their desks. You must argue them exactly as written!

Team members may speak either from their desks or from the podium, as they desire. Audiovisuals may be used at any time, including, but not limited to, handouts, flipcharts,

transparencies, slides, audio and videotapes, etc. While a team is not required to use all of the time runs out. Team members are prohibited from speaking to the audience or opposing team except at the times specifically allocated to them. The sequence of the position summaries will be determined by a random procedure at the conclusion of the final work period. Doing so may result in disqualification of the offending group. If either team feels that their opponents are introducing new information instructor.

Selection of Winner(s) and Allocation of Points

The instructor reserves the right to allocate fewer than the default or class voted points to a

group, if, in his opinion, the quality of preparation and/or presentation was inadequate. Debate "losers" who prepare and present adequately will receive 30 points for their efforts.

Debate "Winners" will be selected in two ways, as follows:

: Class members in the audience will vote by secret ballot for a debate winner. disagreement with the position espoused. At the conclusion of each component of the debate, class members will be asked to assign a point rating along with explanatory comments to each team for their performance during that component. When the debate is over, the point ratings will be summed. Whichever team has the higher sum will be the winner on that ballot. After all ballots are collected, the number of votes for each team will be announced. Whichever team has more votes will be the winner, and the team will receive 10 bonus points in addition to the 30 for basic preparation. In the event of a tie, the instructor’s vote will decide the winner.

: The instructor will also evaluate both teams according to the above procedures and criteria, and select his choice for the winner. The team of his choice will receive 10 bonus points. Thus, depending upon the nature of the vote split, the "Winner(s)" may receive 10 or 20 bonus points, for a total of either 40 or 50 points for the debate.

Review of Ballots

Each debating team will have the opportunity to take home all of the ballots overnight for review and feedback on their performance. If necessary, the team to take them first will be determined by the flip of a coin. Once both teams have reviewed them, they are to be returned to the instructor.

Debate Topics

PRO: Employees who cannot take the stress inherent in a job should be relieved of their current duties (i.e., transferred, demoted, or fired, as appropriate). Stress management should ultimately be the employees' responsibility.

CON: Employees with stress problems should be guaranteed not to lose their current positions while the company provides or arranges for special treatment to alleviate their stress related problems. The corporation has an obligation to provide significant assistance to employees in the area of stress management.

PRO: Employees of any organization should be accorded significant privacy rights relating to both their time and behavior on the job, and the use of their personal information. Employee privacy on the job should be respected as much as it is in their homes.

CON: By virtue of accepting employment in an organization, employees must relinquish many of the privacy rights that they might enjoy in personal settings, such as their own home. The ability of an organization to function effectively and meet its goals requires this limitation to personal privacy rights.

PRO: Workplace romances are private matters between the inpiduals involved. Organizations should not try to regulate them in any significant way.

CON: Workplace romances can impact negatively on morale and productivity, and may result in charges of sexual harassment. Organizations have the right to regulate them as they see fit.
