Night time lectures with Laurance Paul Strait



When students come back to the dorm and still have debate questions, LPS (Doctoral Candidate - USC Annenberg School for Communication) is there to answer! Outside his door is a list of topics that any student can request. Whether it’s rebuttal redos or writing 2AC/1AR blocks, LPS will be there to help you after the day is done.

Here is an example of one of his evening seminars:


Judge Adaptation – Optional Evening Seminar

10:40 PM, 15th Floor Lounge

Please feel free to come, or not come. You may arrive late and/or leave early if you wish. This will not be a traditional lecture; rather, it will be more of a guided discussion. Topics include:
-what are the different types of judges?
-what are the most important things to know about a judge?
-how to adapt to each type of judge
-how to read a judge philosophy

We will examine the judge philosophies of several of the faculty, and discuss how to adapt to each.

Don't forget to propose topics to me for future evening seminars. The next seminar will cover advanced theory issues, and the next after that will cover various philosophical traditions and their utility in debating kritiks on either side.
