About ISDA
We are a public speaking and debate tutoring company founded by gold medalist Speech and Debate collegiate competitors. Our company’s goal is to reach out to people of all ages and walks of life and help them to become better and more effective debaters. We understand the importance of being a skilled debater, and wish to pass on our knowledge to you!
Our Motto and Mission Statement
Practical skills for practical people.
Communication is Key to Success!
In our program, we distill all the aspects of formal debating and break it down for you so you can learn how to become a master conversationalist from the ground up! We feel that while most programs will teach you basic surface level ways to become better at debating, we want to help you understand the science behind communication and show you how you can shape your world by simply using your voice.
Application is Important!
Part of the process of becoming a better debater, is to actually apply the knowledge gained. If you just sit through all of the lessons and don’t apply any of the information, it’s likely you will not be benefited. The best way to learn is by doing, so it is important that while enrolled in this course you apply the knowledge gained to your everyday life. There will be something we call “Critical Thinking Exercises” which will be suggested assignments that are fun and easy ways to apply the knowledge you have gained through our course.

Good explanation.

So far he has spent a lot of time talking about the value of debate as well as the value of certain methods. I’m already listening to the course because I see great value and debate. What I would like is deeper understanding of the topic. For example, he mentions round conversation. What about the framing of The question that is being debated? What about the opponents view when it comes to understanding round conversation? What does it look like to win a debate? Perhaps all of those things are still yet to come

Incredibly basic obvious content. Be warned, no refund if you're skipping around the content trying to find anything not basic and obvious.
