ISOCREC GROUPS--WEEK OF SEP 20-24

1. Attendance and opinion of the seminar/lecture
ISOCREC Classes, please post a comment in this posting to write your group name & section, the name of your Wikipage (ideally the same as the group name) and the names of your group members.

Attend the lecture/seminar on Green Space and/or Water Resources. Make your reflections in the wikipage. One of you should make a synthesis out of the consolidated ideas/insights. This is due on the 27th of September.

2. Sep. 23 is library day. All groups are to get local materials on two items:

a. Protecting the environment--the sea,the river. What is the impact of not helping or not caring for the sea, the land, the coastal areas. How do we protect these areas.

You may also concentrate on water resources management or green space development.

b. How do we educate the people in the community to make them aware of the consequences of negligence? What ICT tools can be used & how do we use them? Example, simulation of water/river pollution--would this help?

Put all the materials in the wikipage. Allot another page for the assessment & analysis. These reading outputs will be used as preparation for the SR requirement.

Pls email me in my delasalle account if you have questions.
Thank you.

ISOCREC DEBATE MECHANICS

Debate Mechanics
Designed by Dr. Raymund Sison



Selection of debaters

The professor shall randomly select 3 students to form the PRO team, and another 3 to form the CON team.

A student can be selected to be a debater twice in the course of the trimester, but not more. The student’s final grade for class participation will be the average of the points that he or she gets in the two debates.

Conduct of the debate

The debaters will take their places on each side of the platform, with the PRO debaters sitting on the side near the door. In each round, each debater will be given 3 minutes to present his/her arguments. There will be two to three rounds, with the PRO, CON, and PRO team starting the first, second, and third rounds, respectively. Before each round, the teams will be given three minutes to discuss their arguments and strategies.

Grading of the debaters

At the end of the third round, the debaters will be asked to face the blackboard, while the audience will be asked to vote for those whom they think were the best debaters that day. Each student in the audience will vote for exactly two debaters. The students will also be asked to vote for the team that they think gave the best arguments and counter-arguments.

Voting will be by raising of hands. Students will be requested to close their eyes during the voting period.

The debaters will be ranked according to the number of votes they get. The student with the most votes (first place) gets 95 points (out of a hundred); the next student (second place), 90; the next (third place), 85; the next (fourth place), 80; the next (fifth place), 75; and the last (sixth place), 70. In addition, the members of the team that wins will each get additional 5 points. Ties are broken by alphabetically sorting the family names of the debaters concerned.

Students who get the same number of votes will each get the average of the points assigned to the places that they occupy. For example, students A and B get 20 votes each, students C and D get 15 votes each; students E and F, 5 each. Thus, A and B will get 92.5 points each, C and D will get 82.5 points each, and E and F will get 72.5 points each. As another example, say students A and B get 40 votes each, while C to F get none. Then A and B will get 92.5 points each, while C to F will get 77.5 each.
