What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  Strong debaters CONCEDE good points: 'You're right that X, but. ' This shows intellectual honesty and actually makes your remaining arguments MORE convincing, not less. 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!
