In 2012, the Cornell Forensics Society was ranked the number-one debate program in the world, beating out more than 800 other institutions for the title. See their talent in action in this October 26, 2013 event, Debating the Rise of MOOCs.
Members debate the pros and cons of MOOCs, Massive Online Open Courses, which are taking American higher education by storm and generating polarized opinions along the way. Some say these huge web-based courses will revolutionize the college curriculum and democratize higher education--while others argue that a great education requires personal mentorship and shared community. Whatever your opinion going in, we're sure you'll leave this conversation enlightened, challenged, and filled with Big Red pride.
This event was part of the Trustee Council Weekend 2013 activities.
