<p>I expect students to have a well-documented case. Tell me your sources. I want strong authority, recent data, and compelling reasoning. Presenting your own case, however, is only part of the game. Rebuttal of your opponents' case should show strong preparation and arguments supported by equally strong evidence. Finally, good arguments don't occur without clear speaking skills. All speeches must be understandable, flowable, and articulate with good road mapping and impacts.</p>

<p>I expect cases to be presented with thoughtful, thorough and critical use of evidence to support each contention. I hope for keen responses to the opposing side with clear collaboration and team support during cross fire sessions. Overall, I expect competitors to remember that this is a speaking event; strong oratorical skills, including pacing, volume, emphasis and phrasing impact my evaluation of their efforts.</p>
