LD

Rounds judged: 0
Approach: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Philosophy:
My paradigm is Tabula Rasa. I will accept any argument, until the other debater contests it with logic, evidence, or theory. I like to lightly flow with the debate. The criterion, and value criterion are major factors in my decision making. I prefer a medium rate of delivery, but I would not vote against a student solely for exceeding my preferred speed. I find it very important to present all evidence in round 1. But most of all, I like to see good rebuttals. Most of my decision is made by what arguments do or don't get contested, and well they are contested.
