Although many of our students opted to only spend two weeks at UNT this summer, a number of students are staying for the third week of the institute. The third week combines even more personalized attention in addition to an intensive workload that will fine-tune the practices learned in the first two weeks. Aaron Timmons, Beena Koshy, Neil Conrad, Gary Johnson, Katherine Thompson, and David McGough are all remaining in Denton, TX for another week.
While the two week students left on Saturday morning, the three week students began their day at 1pm to allow a little extra time for some rest. Many of the students were given new case assignments by Neil to write different positional cases than the ones written in the previous two weeks.
On Sunday, all of the students turned in copies of their cases to be revised by the staff. This revision followed many revisions by previous lab leaders and self-revision after the practice round and tournament round critiques. There was noticeable improvement in all of the cases from the first draft from what seems like quite a while ago. Today continued with practice rounds, an advanced standards and casing lecture by Neil Conrad, guided library time for topic specific research, more practice rounds, a lecture on counterplans by Aaron Timmons, and an argument drill to end the evening.
Check out the pictures from the previous two weeks.
