Abstract

The argumentation course is often taught as a scaled-down version of a tutorial in intercollegiate debate. While experience with competitive debate has value, we argue in this essay that the argumentation course should also develop competencies in cooperation, compromise, and consensus building that are not adequately addressed in traditional classroom debates. To develop these competencies, a unit in negotiation should be included in the argumentation course.
