his features is “Change my mind”. He goes to university campuses, makes a
simple controversial statement, and invites anyone to sit down and discuss the
issue, with the purpose of changing his mind.

1. I think that Crowder's approach to the student was effective. He was calm and composed. His approach to all the other students was effective as well. He never yelled, he was calm, he had his ideas organized, and he was genuinely listening to the other person's point of view.
2. At the very beginning the student's approach was not effective at all. She yelled and swore and was not approachable. However, after she sat down, I think she did quite well, she let him speak for the most part and did not yell. She was passionate but not over the top. She was open to hear what he had to say even if she was not open to accept it.
1. I think Crowder's tactics were very effective. The fact that he made her come up with the answers was smart, and we learned this last year in tactics. That way, when possible he can use her words against her and hopefully make a good argument. I also felt that some of what he said kind of made her mad and maybe this wasn't the best way to go about it because if she is angry then she isn't open to see eye to eye on what he has to say.
2. I think it was important that she said that she was a rape victim also, but her anger with him, will not solve the problem any faster. She must clearly lay out her argument and provide ACCURATE information, and not just the number of friends she knows that have been raped. Maybe she is in a really bad friend group?
1. Crowder's tactics are fun to watch. The thing with it is that I won't necessarily change people's minds, but it will get them thinking. Crowder is smart because he tries to steer away from facts unless the opposition brings them up. He tries to show the invalidity of their ideologies, something he doesn't necessarily need facts for.
2. I understand the one student who argued that they were unprepared. But, it makes no sense because if he was unprepared, why did he challenge Crowder? Some students' approaches were good; they wanted to know what he meant which is great. A terrible approach was like the first woman who only came to yell at him or convince him that women are poor, unfortunate souls.
