Greg Achten Pepperdine University ARIZONA DEBATE INSTITUTE Near Arizona State University 23rd annual edition of the nation's premier debate workshop; July 31st-August 13th ADI has earned the distinction of being the longest running, most cost efficient collegiate workshop in the nation, boasts top ranked speakers at all national tournaments, and is the only workshop with the luxury of being fully contained in a newly renovated hotel.

INSTITUTE STRUCTURE. The Arizona Debate Institute specializes in three modes of instruction to insure that each student leaves with the knowledge, skills, and evidence necessary. Research Track: Experienced students interested in concentrating on gaining large quantities of quality evidence should enroll in this track. The curriculum includes in-depth topic lectures, extensive research in ASU's nationally ranked 3 million volume library system, and argument analysis with nationally recognized coaches. Skills Track: Students interested in getting a jump on the topic and improving their "debate mechanics" should enroll in this track. The curriculum of this track includes the topic analysis of the research track and full use of that research while concentrating on skill building. Students will improve their rebuttal skills, theory background, argument analysis, and line-by-line technique. Novice Track: This track is designed for students with little or no past debate experience who are interested in learning the fundamentals of debate. Specialists in teaching basic skills will help students construct affirmative cases, learn refutation skills, understand research methods, and focus on argument construction. All students will have access to hundreds of pages of research on the 2000-2001 topic and will have a minimum of 10 debate rounds with a qualified coach.
