Guided Response: This is a debate. First, you must necessarily choose a side through research and reason. Offer your opinion in your YouSeeU presentation and be prepared to defend it! Be sure to address questions that are against your position as well as those in favor of it. When debating, you need to understand your opponent’s views, if not better, at least as well as you understand your own position.

You are required to post two substantive responses to your classmates’ video presentations. Your responses to classmates must be at least 200 words in length and supported with scholarly information. Your responses must be to students who chose the point counter to your position. For example, if you come to the conclusion that plea bargaining should be stopped as a practice in the United States, then you must substantively respond to at least two of your classmates whose position is that plea bargaining should be continued, and vice versa.

Remember to be respectful of your classmates in this and all debates. It is expected that you will differ on positions taken by your “opponents,” but it is never professional or successful to engage in personal attacks. Keep all comments and arguments based upon the scholarly information you have gleaned from classroom sources and outside scholarly research.
