Arguments will need to be substantial, but there will be an upper word limit (of 2000 words) per person. A 5 minute speech is around 600 words depending on your speaking style.

787424 2009-07-03 01:36:00 Note also that the word limit includes any quotes. Erayd (23)
787425 2009-07-03 01:39:00 I should emphasise that 2000 words is an absolute limit. There is no need to actually go up to that many words - I would expect most people would go up to around 1000 words at most. somebody (208)

787428 2009-07-03 02:19:00 An interesting point of view here as to format I came across while doing the research. This is for students and assumes a Professor in a teaching role.

I make no comment at this time as to the material but it may be relevant.

Yup - it looks like a good, concise summary. When I announce the topic and teams, I will also provide some rough guidelines on what is expected from each team.

Thus far we don't have an argument ,an argument is a connected series of statements to establish a definite proposition.
