Speaking rounds will be scheduled before each round begins. Each new speech will have a new schedule. Every effort will be made to accommodate your schedule in the event of a conflict. If you must change dates after the schedule has been set, it is your responsibility to exchange speaking dates with another student. If you cannot find someone willing to swap dates, you may reschedule your speech later in the round with an automatic 25 point deduction. I will only allow you to do this if you notify me at least sometime the day before you speak. Failure to get your work done on time will not be accepted as a reason to reschedule your speech and may result in additional penalties. For the most part, view your speaking date as an unbreakable commitment.
