Fitter, Happier, More Productive...

After four days of lab love, the KLO lab is progressing on the topic of worker welfare rather nicely. We began the day with a flowing drill. Shane kept track on the board, and everyone compared what they'd written to what super  Shane had.

The morning progressed with Beena giving an informative lecture on rebuttals. While the students always look forward to Beena's witty quips and phrases ( i.e. "Nay, Nay Fluffy!"), they also learned the importance of impacting every argument, following the flow, etc. In response to Beena's lecture Marshall asked outstanding questions concerning the value premise. After listening to Karl's case, which included ideas such as The Good Samaritan Law, we got a few fascinating rebuttals. Eric very persuasively convinced the class that we should negate in a rebuttal drill. Pondering Preethi added to the debate with a rebuttal on cultural relativism.

Post-Lunch library research began with a very enthusiastic huddle. Everyone was told to have a rough draft of both of their cases today. While that may have seemed like a lofty goal, everyone has done a great job getting things together. Brittany mentioned some very noteworthy theories on the US economy on Neg. Hailey offered evidence of a framework debate with ideas on "ought."

The day concluded with more cases and more rebuttals. Everyone got a chance to give a rebuttal, where we all the had the chance to hear some very unique and thought-provoking arguments.
