Abstract:
During the spring semester of 1966 and 1967 I was responsible for the undergraduate and graduate courses in agricultural policy at The University of Arizona. More recently, 1968 and 1969, I have taught only the undergraduate course. During these past four years I have experimented with classroom debates in both classes and with oral examinations in the graduate class. Because of the positive response to these innovations, I decided to summarize their use in hopes that other professors teaching policy-type courses will find my approach useful.
