You will be required to work with a partner to do a debate style presentation of one of the papers selected from the assigned text book:

Cyberethics: Morality and Law in Cyberspace by R. Spinello, Jones and Bartlett, 2017.

Debate presentations (26 minutes) will take place during a mutually agreed class periods. You are expected to make appropriate use of AV materials (posters, demonstration, power point, handouts, etc.) Your presentation should be a debate not a lecture. You expected to do additional research to support the paper content. You must include some discussion on the local and global implications of your topic. You are to upload your team debate presentation (powerpoint with audio or a video) on the date your presentation is due.

You will need to identify a controversial point from your topic (e.g. copyright violations do not hurt anyone) and then decide which partner will take the Affirmative position and which partner will take Negative position. You will alternate your presentations as follows. You will each get 13 minutes total time to make your case:

Speech	Time
Affirmative Constructive	6 min
Cross Examination by Negative	3 min
Negative Constructive	7 min
Cross Examination by Affirmative	3 min
Affirmative Rebuttal	2 min
Negative Rebuttal	3 min
Affirmative Rejoinder	2 min

You are required to write critiques of three debates. Contact the instructor and you will receive access to the peer review forms for the debates you select to review.
