At least two students should argue in a given debate – one for the proposition and one for the opposition. Each speech should take approximately 10-15 minutes and be spoken, though they can be supported by notes and syllabi. Each debate ends with the audience voting for the winner. Besides taking part in the debates, students are supposed to be generally active during classes, introduce the group into a given topic on the basis of their readings, investigate the presentations, ask questions to the instructor and to the debaters, discuss the topics, judge the debaters etc. The structure of the debate looks as follows: 1.
