CX Guides
This section of Planet Debate hosts Stefan Bauschard's Cross-x Topic Guide. The Guide is made up of over 100 essays on different harms, solvency mechanisms, disadvantages, kritiks, and counterplans on the energy topic. Additional essays on research and pedagogy are also included.
Each essay provides important background information, discusses affirmative and negative strategy relevant to the argument, and has extensive web and library-based bibliographies. Both the essays and the bibliographies are available in printer-friendly formats and users can simply click-on the web references.
This version of the Topic Guide is available to all registered members (registration is free). You can purchase a downloadable copy by clicking on the "Wake Topic Guide" on the left. Download copies will be available September 1st
