“Grades motivate students to work”:

  • Yes, but grades primarily motivate the best (objection 1);

Argument page name
It is the content of this page that will be loaded into the debate.
On Wikidebates, each argument has a page that is dedicated to him. You can thus use the same argument several times and in different debates.
This field is required.
Title to be displayed
A shorter or more punchy title can be displayed instead of the page name above. Take the opportunity to lighten it and make reading more fluid.
Example:

Argument page name : Realistic models for financing basic income exist

Title to be displayed : Realistic funding models

This field is required.
Warning(s)
If the title to be displayed poses a problem, report it by checking the corresponding box(es):
  • Unclear displayed title: the title is confusing, jargon, overly allusive or telegraphic;
  • Too long displayed title: the title contains several sentences or is globally too developed;
  • Unfavorable displayed title: the title presents the argument in a lacunary or caricatured way.
