The event was organized by the Student Debates Subcommittee (SDS) of the Student Affairs Committee (SAC). The theme of the 2021 Student Debates was "Transforming Entomology to Adapt to Global Concerns", with 3 topics. Each topic had an unbiased introduction and 2 teams. The debate topics were (i) Nonnative insect introduction is an ethical approach for counteracting proliferation and overpopulation of consumers, (ii) What is the best technology to control undesirable insect pests in urban and agricultural settings? and (iii) Compared to other solutions, like plant-based diets, insect farming is the best method to address rising human global food and nutrient supply demands. Unbiased introduction speakers and teams had approximately 6 months to prepare for their presentations.

Article Synopsis
- There is ongoing debate about how effective pedagogical agents, like virtual tutors, are at improving student performance in learning environments.
- A study with 115 students in a web design course found that cognitive feedback from a virtual Affective Pedagogical Tutor (APT) significantly improved learning outcomes compared to feedback from a human teacher, but affective feedback from the APT was only partially effective.
- Limitations of the study include its focus on a single course, which affects the ability to generalize findings, and the need for more research on affective feedback and long-term effects of the instructional methods.
