Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: I am a Tabula Rasa judge that defaults to Stock Issues. I believe every argument must be backed by solid and reputable evidence, and each team starts at a blank flow that is won through clash and evidence presented. I am also an educator who recognizes that every debate round should offer the most educational growth for all speakers involved.
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
I judge based on the foundations and explanations of the speakers values and plans. Each team starts with a blank flow that is won through communication methods and the clash of values and evidence. I am also an educator who recognizes that every debate round should offer the most educational growth for all speakers involved.
