In the afternoon students completed either a Problem Solving or Essay Writing workshop. In the problem solving workshop students were encouraged to break down and get to the root of a problem in order to tackle it. For Kabhir this was a relief as the more subjective Philosophy and Ethics worskshop yesterday, despite being interesting, gave him a headache!
In the essay writing workshop students learnt how to structure an essay and produce arguments and counter arguments. The students then were challenged to come up with arguments and counter arguments for and against an issue and share them with the class.
Topics of debate included whether people should be obligated to donate to charity, whether we should protect the environment and whether religion was relevant.
Dinner was in the accommodation and students enjoyed their meal in the garden. Economics students had an evening tutorial. Other students played football, with a ball freshly retrieved from the neighbour's garden, or watched Mean Girls in the common room, with Jess styling many heads of hair!
