Debating on: Case Mini Debate Instructor/commentator: Kernoff Comments:
1AC: Good, clear reading of the 1AC. You read everything you were supposed to and nothing extra – good! You can work on reading the tags a little louder and more emphatically since that’s what the judge needs to flow
2AC: You did a wonderful job refuting each argument. I like how you used your flow to plan out arguments. You have a very solid 2AC – to make it great, you could work on incorporating multiple responses to their arguments when appropriate and referring to 1AC evidence.
Date of debate: 6/23
Debating on: T Instructor/commentator: Baker Comments:
-make sure to answer each of the other teams argumernts
-very clear
-also make sure to phrase arguments in a way that makes them refute the oppositions argument, not just restate your own points
Date of debate: 6/25
Debating on: Theory mini debates Instructor/commentator: Mikaela Comments: Good work. Solid 2AC/2NC blocks. Work on expanding the content of later speeches by answering all of the other side's arguments. For example, respond to the argument that you should lose for reading a CP (by explaining why losing is not an appropriate punishment).
Date of debate: 6/29
Debating on: states politics Instructor/commentator: Nicole Comments:
1ar: Good job extending the uniformity argument. Reading a card about unity being important is maybe unnecessary all depend son how much time you have in future debates.
You should extend the permutation, though.
on 50 states fiat - you do a good job of answering their arguments. make sure you say why it is a voting issue (meaning that the neg should lose the debate)
On politics - you are great on the no spill over argument - just make sure you answer arguments in order - so do the no impact first and then the no spill over since thats how hte 2ac made it.
Date of debate:6/27
Debating on:Disads Instructor/commentator:Baker Comments:
-to save time, try to avoid overconnecting arguments in the constructives - save that work for the rebuttals
-more evidence is always desirable, but it's about balance. make sure that reading new arguments doesnt come at the cost of extending previously made arguments
Date of debate:6/30
Debating on:K Instructor/commentator:Baker Comments:
-make sure to respond to the arguments the other side makes in the 2ac in the order they were read to maintain clarity
-good use of evidence, make sure that each piece of evidence that you read has a purpose though
--work on making sure you fill the time allotted

1nc:
Good roadmap!
Good 1nc. Try to make analytical arguments on the case. For every 2 cards you read, one analytical arg would help quite a bit.
It was only 6 minutes - so next time you can read a bit more in your 1nc
cx of 1nc:
you want to face the judge. good job asking about the core issue of the us economy, but if you don't get the answer you want, then try a different question.
30 seconds of prep for 1nr - not too bad, but try to avoid using any
1nr on spending da
you have 30 seconds left. two things for your redo then
1. make sure you reference and better answer the emprically denied on the spending DA
2. talk about the impacts of the spending DA and explain why they would outweigh the affirmative.
REDO IN THE EVENING:
much better. you did a good job explaining economy ties to war.
