What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  What's your debate strength? (Logic? Evidence? Delivery?) What needs improvement? (Listening? Staying calm? Anticipating counter-arguments?) Self-awareness makes you better. Understanding self-assessment of argumentation skills is one of the building blocks of strong thinking. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong โ€” that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
