This isn't a regular A-G course, but simply a class that helps you prepare for speaking in front of large crowds. It challenges your ability to go out of your comfort zone, as well as learning life skills that are applicable in every aspect of your life. Highly recommended class.

This class is not structured as a usual class due to the amount of students and how speech and debate works in general. Be prepared for a whole lot of nothing for the first couple of weeks. You’ll have to do two different events in this class, and whether you do only speech or speech along with debate is your choice. They also make zero mention of the fact that you’re required to do Big Questions debate near the end of the semester. Overall a very unorganized class with a severe lack of communication or coordination between students, coaches, and teachers. BTW some of the fees are ridiculous and the reflections can be easily BSed.
