Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
Policy priority: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: I believe that debaters should be allowed to set the terms for the debate. I will listen to all types of arguments that are run properly. Students should abide by the UIL speed guidelines when competing at UIL. To me this means that students may speak faster than conversational if they are proficient at be communicative whist doing so.
