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

Look for non-verbal gestures that indicate that you have lost your audience. Are they still taking notes Do they look confused Use your intuition as a guide. Relative importance of on-case argumentation to the critic in decision-making: On-case arguments are very important. Straight refutation is responsible for laying to rest many affirmative cases over the years. Additionally, negative positions that avoid offering rejoinder to the affirmative case risk being outweighed or turned via the on-case solvency and advantages. Openness to critical/performative styles of debating: I am open to this. It does not mean that I will vote for a team just becuase they are creative or breaking out of some medium of "oppression." Debaters must be smart. Tell me why drawing pictures or maintaining silence is an example of a "speech act" that serves to advance a particular claim. In opposition to performance, teams might advance a counter-perfomance of a kind or simply attack the performance for failing to prove the topic to be true. I will rarely reject topicality outright without some work. Any additional comments: NPDA nationals is kind of like Bruce Lee's, Enter the Dragon. Students come from a variety of dojos to try their unique style of kung fu against others. There is no correct style. There is only contextually correct applications of style. Have fun and do what you do best (rather than what you think the critic or your opponents "expect" to hear). In my previous years of judo experience, I witnessed several occasions where a black belt was thrown to the ground by a white belt who only knew one move/trick. You could tell in that instant, however, that the white belt probably practiced that one technique thousands of times that month. For the black belt, however, it was clear that they were just getting cocky and fancy with thier approach to victory. Stay focused on the moment and never underestimate your opponent, or over-estimate your critic (assume that they will vote for old time favorite positions based on political/ideological preferences). Appreciate each round and learn from diverse forms of style and technique. Debate is as much personality as it is book taught theory. 86
Jensen, Kris Hired Critic background I competed for four years at Willamette University. I coached two high school debate teams in Anchorage, Alaska after undergrad. I’m now attending Law School in Michigan. Decision-making I try to be as tabula rasa as possible in evaluating rounds- any means of upholding the resolution is potentially valid. That said, my default preference is policy, as such cases often provide the cleanest method of judging the round. Relative importance of presentation Low. Manner and style of presentation does not influence my determination of the winner of the round. It does, however, factor into my speaker point calculus. Brisk delivery is acceptable, but delivery that leaves me grasping for the last three statements is not. Relative importance of on-case argumentation Not required but often very effective. I think an opp team can win strictly off-case, but doing so makes their burden that much higher. Mitigating/turning on-case material can reduce the burden on the off-case. Openness to critical/performative debate I’m open to performative debate. That doesn’t mean I know how to evaluate it. I encourage those who wish to perform to propose some clear method of evaluation. I only vote for a kritik in the rarest of cases. Feel free to wow me with your kritik, but be warned you have a tough road ahead. Additional comments • Regarding Topicality, I think it is a valid though often overused argument. While I’ve voted for it, I’ve also proved sympathetic to teams which respond to a given T attack by properly pointing out it was a time suck that devalued the debate - and awarded points and the win accordingly. A case where the gov fails to uphold the resolution, or where the ground loss is clearly identified and the ground loss explained, will be met with favor. • I do not require that CPs be non-topical. • Regarding points of information, a team that refuses to entertain any but asks many will be penalized. • Jargon is fine- but if it leaves me with a quizzical expression, it would be best to offer an explanation of it. 87
