I concur with Joel on this issue for the reasons he has already given. But I also want to add one more point: Who the hell is going to judge? Grad students judging grad students? It is bad enough when undergrads judge undergrads. I may be wrong but I percieve a shortage of judges. Letting people debate for five years into grad school reduces the judging pool further.
I think the compromise should be 4 years, eight semesters--but if you graduate in 3 years and begin your fourth year in grad school, then you should be able to debate. This seems to be the optimum solution. Scott Elliott _______________________________________________ CEDA-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.ndtceda.com/mailman/listinfo/ceda-l
