Debate exam - ideas on the skills needed?
When taking a debate exam, make sure that you have strong research skills. A debate requires a 2 sided argument. You should be able to research on the spot or, actually have notable knowledge about a certain topic. Once you are capable of researching, you need to be able to think critically about that information. What is the good that it represents? Or, what is the bad that it supports? Make sure that you can clearly communicate your ideas to the reader or listener. You need to be able to use rebuttals to win your argument. It is not easy to undergo a debate but if you are strong willed and you believe in the side that you arguing for, then you should perform well enough during the test.
I liked the topic. It's good to put into practice.
