So today was the first leg of debates. We split up the work into different arguments; I was supposed to do all the talking for DRM, and my other two partners were supposed to do it for a different topic. Even though I was not doing the other topic, I did a ton of research anyway and gave them specific things to read for our arguments/counter arguments. Instead, when actually speaking, they were really awkward and skipped over half of the information I gave them (printed out on a sheet of paper and everything) thereby making our argument seem more weak than it actually was. As a result of not including this information in their delivery, we lost. Is there anything I can do or say to the professor to help my grade? I’m handling the next debate, so it’s not that big of a deal, but I’m basically on the line right now between an A and a B. If we get a bad score on these debates, I will get a B in the class, which will push my total GPA below a 3.0……I’m really upset and kinda feel screwed over…..
