2nd Semester 2024 – Limited Prep Club

Over the course of 8 weeks, students of all skill levels will be challenged in their Limited Prep skills. Meetings will include discussions of limited prep essentials like creating a compelling thesis and strengthening organization. We will also dig deeper into topics that are specific to the limited prep categories that students in the club are competing in. There will be plenty of time for discussion and specific questions about topics, situations, and strategies. Students can also expect lots of hands-on practice because that’s the best way to get better at limited prep!
