Where could I search events that would be relevant for the extra credit? Could you give me an idea, or perhaps a book idea? I'm interested, but I don't know what to choose. Also, regarding the due date - when our "final paper" is due...meaning our second debate paper (mine would be due in a week) or by our final exam?

Thank you!
