چکیده (انگلیسی):

Following a review of the literature, an educational case study is provided for the benefit of faculty
preparing college courses. In particular, we provide a transcribed debate utilized in a General
Psychology course as a best practice example of how to craft a debate which maximizes student
learning. The work is presented as a model for the principles of not building straw -men arguments,
not shying away from controversial topics, giving politically-incorrect viewpoints fair treatment,
making a crisp presentation that students will take seriously, and exemplifying gender-equity and
aggressive female role-modeling. Reparative therapy and homosexual orientation was the debate’s
topic.
