$Bethel University Calculus/Precalculus Math Placement Exam ...$

I have not adjudicated before in competition, but in practice have based decisions on the clarity of points and overarching policy concerns. Relative importance of presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making : I have difficulty flowing speed. I place a high emphasis on clarity of presentation and articulation of quality points instead of quantity. Relative importance of on-case argumentation to the critic in decision-making: I think other arguments can be appropriate, but I feel that the greatest emphasis should be placed on on-case arguments. Openness to critical/performative styles of debating: Let's not do those. Any additional comments: I think logically and can understand points, but debate 'jargon' and excessive speed present difficulties for me in flowing arguments. Be clear, concise, and emphasize a few critical points in developing your argument, for I feel that it is difficult to enhance a strong position around a list of unsubstantiated support points. Poor, John University of Colorado at Boulder Background of the critic: John Poor University of Colorado Judging Philosophy: NPDA 2008 Debated policy at Whitman for 2 years, 1 year at the University of Denver. Consistent coaching of high school policy and LD, as well as college parli. 130
Approach of the critic to decision-making (for example, adherence to the trichotomy, stock-issues, policymaker, tabula rasa, etc.): My background is in policy debate, and as a general matter, I tend to default to a policymaking paradigm in the absence of some reason to evaluate the discussion on some other level. That said, I’ll listen to and vote on just about any kind of argument. I recognize that it’s not really possible for a judge to be truly “tabula rasa,” but I really do try to stay out of the way and let the debaters decide the outcome. When it comes to unconventional strategies, my only real requirement is that debaters be able to justify whatever framework they advocate. Regardless of which arguments are on the table at the end of the debate, I tend to reward good, clear impact analysis and impact comparisons. The less work that I have to do to reconstruct the debate, the higher the probability becomes that my decision will comport with the debaters’ expectations about how the issues should be weighed. Relative importance of presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making : Talk as fast or as slow as you want; if you’re unclear, I’ll let you know. You don’t need to thank me or the other team for showing up – we all chose to be here. Be funny, be sarcastic, but please don’t be mean or overtly rude. And, above all, have a good time. Relative importance of on-case argumentation to the critic in decision-making: Openness to critical/performative styles of debating: Crituques play an important and continuously evolving role in academic debate, and I have no reservations about considering them on an equal plane with other kinds of arguments. That said, it is important for teams that go for criticisms to develop their framework & demonstrate why their critical perspective ought to supersede any countervailing policy considerations. In that vein, “our criticism is pre-fiat,” without more, doesn’t usually do it for me – I expect good critical teams to make arguments about why it’s important to evaluate framework-level arguments before worrying about the policy impacts.
