This class is mainly about debating and making presentations. We originally planned to have six debates, but unfortunately we only managed to have two debates and presentations, partly due to the pandemic and partly because the originally present slow progress (which is understandable because this is the first time Mr. Hotle is teaching this course). There are also two video homeworks in which you have to record a video in which you talk about a topic.

So first about the debates. We first learn something about debates. Then there is first a warm-up debate, which is very kind of messy because we don't know the techniques yet. Then we learn more about debates. Then we have another debate, this time much better. However we didn't have a third debate due to the pandemic and we really had been looking forward to it.

Next about the presentations. This is possibly the most frustrating thing about this course, at least to me. We have to make a presentation that can arouse the audiences' interest, long but not that long (I originally thought that the presentation won't be long enough, but later I found out that it can be easily too long), and the most challenging aspect is that you can't read from a piece of paper. So the preparation can be very annoying, and when you're on the stage you will be very anxious, but when you finally receive your score and your comments, you will be quite satisfied.

Finally about the teacher. Mr. Hotle is very friendly and likes interacting with us. One interesting feature about the lessons is that every time at the start we play a warm-up game, usually two true one false. And because L4 has no upper bound for A, Mr. Hotle will try his best to raise our scores and therefore I believe everyone can receive a good score.

老师人很好,上课主要以辩论和演讲为核心内容,主题主要关注一些重要的社会议题,例如996工作制、AI绘画等等。想要把辩论和演讲做好还是比较需要课后功夫的,作为一门一周90分钟的课程来说收获也还算是可以。如果说有改进意见的话就是个人感觉上课节奏有点拖沓,个人不太喜欢他试图用分数奖励促进课堂参与度的做法(比如课前热身游戏)。最后给分我了解到的人也不多,不做评价。

CTC上课主要内容围绕pre和debate展开,各有两场,期末是pre。老师会很细致地教你怎么把debate和pre做好,包括引导你准备论点和论据、怎么说理、怎么做slide等等。课堂氛围很轻松,毕竟主要就是聊天,主题有996工作制、高等教育和最近大火的AIGC等等。Brad会把每一节课的warm-up game(二真一假游戏)也算作课堂表现的一部分(当然我从来没做过hh)。作业基本无(除了统一分配的俩video homework)。给分样本不多不好评价,反正我觉得非常满意。

感觉最大的收获就是练了不少口语+学会了真正的persuasion而不是一提出观点就一通乱怼(

P.S.我这个班少院人特别多,不知道为什么(
