I like straight up substantive on case argumentation.<br />

Openness to critical/performative styles <strong>of</strong> debating:<br />

Not a fan.<br />

Any additional comments:<br />

Gov must establish a decent prima facie case. Opp must attack this case trying to win<br />

topicality significance solvency or disadvantages or claiming a better counterplan Claims<br />

should be supported with facts, analysis, statistics, some forms <strong>of</strong> pro<strong>of</strong>. CLASH in<br />

debate is good. In rebuttals I want to see voting issues claimed and weighted versus the<br />

opposition. Showing knowledgeability about the resolution is viewed very favorably.<br />

Showing ignorance <strong>of</strong> the resolution is viewed unfavorably.<br />

Background <strong>of</strong> the critic:<br />

I competed in both parli and policy debate (8 years). I have directed the NAU forensics<br />

team since 2005.<br />

Approach <strong>of</strong> the critic to decision-making (for example, ad<strong>here</strong>nce to the trichotomy,<br />

stock-issues, policymaker, tabula rasa, etc.):<br />

I am open to a variety <strong>of</strong> interpretations. The upper left section <strong>of</strong> the flow (definions,<br />

burdens, etc.) is very important to me. Too many debaters simply say "net benefits"<br />

without explaining what that means. I like specific and unique burdens/criteria.<br />

Relative importance <strong>of</strong> presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making<br />

:<br />

If an audience member can't decode a message appropriately, any decision-making would<br />

be based on partial or unclear information.<br />
