Advisor: Dedimus Potestatem Email: info@potestatem.com The objective of Debate for Beginners is to prepare participants for the myriad of situations that require formal and informal presentations. Participants will learn to craft and present arguments and inform, persuade and motivate an audience in a variety of ways. The grading rubric was adapted with the permission of Neil Mercer, the Director of research and Head of Faculty at The University of Cambridge. Please note, the Debate Programs are year-long commitments. If you have any questions, please contact the Auxiliary Department at bibauxiliiary@basisindependent.com,
