The course materials were of high quality, and the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive. I particularly enjoyed the debate sessions, where we got to practice our skills in a simulated environment.

I took the Masterclass Certificate in Speech and Debate at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a solid experience. The course covered a lot of ground, from the basics of speechwriting to advanced debate techniques. I appreciated the variety of topics and the fact that we got to work on real-world examples. The instructors were pretty cool, and they provided some valuable feedback on our assignments. One thing that really stood out to me was the emphasis on critical thinking and analysis - it's not just about speaking well, but also about having a strong argument to back it up. The course materials were decent, but I felt like some of the readings could've been more up-to-date. Still, I learned a lot, and I'd recommend the course to anyone looking to boost their communication skills.

I completed the Masterclass Certificate in Speech and Debate at Stanmore School of Business, and I was impressed by the level of detail and expertise that went into the course design. The instructors were clearly subject matter experts, and they provided a wealth of examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. I appreciated the focus on evidence-based argumentation and the emphasis on using data to support our claims. The course materials were comprehensive and well-organized, and I liked how we got to work on a variety of assignments, from speechwriting to debate preparation. One area for improvement might be the discussion forums - sometimes it felt like we were just scratching the surface of a topic, and I would've liked to delve deeper. Nonetheless, I learned a great deal, and I'm confident that the skills I gained will serve me well in my future endeavors.
