Like in other Limited Preparation events, Extemporaneous provides students with heightened analytical skills, increased adaptability, and increased performance skill. Students will also:

• Increase their knowledge of current events. Extemporaneous speaking is an excellent way to learn about geopolitical history, geography, and current events. 
• Increase their understanding of bias. The research element also enables students to learn how to evaluate sources for presuppositions, worldview, and biases. 
• Increase understanding of personal values and the values of others. The more students discuss current events, they will see how each individual’s value system informs what they believe about everything.  Answering questions about current events helps students examine and develop their own value system and what they actually believe.
