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

Cole, Becky Hired 1. Background: I competed in NPDA for Creighton University from 2002-2006. 2. Decision making approach: I generally try to approach judging debate as tab as possible, within the rules of the activity. I will listen to any arguments you choose to present using any judging criteria you give me. 3. Communication/presentation importance: I do think that NPDA is a communications event, and do recognize that the constitution discusses the “delivery” portion of the activity alongside the “content”. However, if both teams are capable and want to debate speed, I will be happy to flow that and will not punish them for that choice, as long as they’re articulate. If one team is not comfortable at an abnormally fast past, I would expect their opponent to respect any requests to slow down (but, please, do not see this as an invite to run an unnecessary speed argument – I’ll listen to it, but I’m not predisposed towards voting for one.) 4. On-case argument importance: On-case arguments are as relevant as the round makes them. I do expect the government team to in someway affirm the resolution. 5. Openness to critical/performance styles: Critical/performance style debate was generally not how I debated in college, but I am more than willing to listen and weigh those arguments. That being said, these positions will likely require more time and internal analysis on your part to ensure that I comprehend their impacts. 6. Additional comments: I do enjoy smart, witty and friendly rounds – a little sarcasm between friends on opposite sides is no big deal – but, try not to be overtly rude or inconsiderate of your opponents. Corum Billman, Jenny I try to be as tab and as possible. In general, I don’t go for abuse arguments – I think I voted on abuse only once last year, and I probably wouldn’t do it again. I will, however, consistently vote for procedurals that involve precision, education, or jurisdiction. I think net benefits demonstrate competition on a counterplan. I’m fine with speed if you’re clear. I avoid considering new arguments, but it is the responsibility of the debaters to call them in rebuttals. I really like strategy, so apply positions to other positions and don’t be afraid to kick things. Bonus points for clear organization, frownie faces for making things up when you don’t know the truth. If you ask me, “So, do you have a paradigm” in the round, I’ll just shrug and not say anything. If you do have a specific question, though, I would be happy to answer it. 34
Coulter, Michael Grove City College Background of the critic: I am new to competitive debate, though I have been affiliated with our own program and understand the basic issues in a round. For your purposes, I should probably be considered a lay judge. I am a professor of political science and am well versed in political philosophy. Approach of the critic to decision-making (for example, adherence to the trichotomy, stock-issues, policymaker, tabula rasa, etc.): My approach to debate has been informed by my understanding of the legislative process and the role of civil discourse. Straight-forward policy debates are particularly appreciated, but I am open to values cases as well. I am looking for clear explanations of arguments and very clear analysis on why your team should win the debate. Relative importance of presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making : Highly technical debate or long excursions on why I should prefer one set of rules over another will not get my ballot. I believe parliamentary debate, perhaps more so than other formats, should be accessible to a general audience. If I can't follow your presentation (either because of style or because it seems unconnected to the issues at hand) you will not be rewarded. Persuasion, reasoning, and appeals to real world issues will be the most effective means of securing a win. And try to relax a little bit. Relative importance of on-case argumentation to the critic in decision-making: Very important. I'm here to evaluate positions and policies more than to decide between different understandings of debate itself. Openness to critical/performative styles of debating: Straightforward, issue-oriented debating stands a much better chance with me than anything else. You should probably not depend on arguments that would make no sense in the public square. Any additional comments: 35
