America's Top Coaches Agree

A debate where one or neither side properly flows becomes a round of dropped arguments, frustrated debaters, and a confused judge. I am speaking with experience when I say this: the most common error of a debater is the failure to flow the round.

Flowing a debate round takes diligence and precision, likely the most valuable process to successful debating. Authors of the top debate texts agree: flowing is the #1 note-taking strategy that separates the winners from the losers. It is imperative that you take good notes to flow the arguments. Training Minds Flowsheets will help you keep to this winning standard.
