Shi,+Ruiwen

Ruiwen’s Paradigm: In general, I'm open-minded and tend to be more holistic in my evaluation. In my mind, debate is about convincing and influencing, not about attacking or being mean or rude. I like well-researched evidence and well-organized arguments. Arguments should be delivered in a concise, effective, and respectful way. Interpret the debate for me and give me a clear justification for voting. Things you should know: Things I don’t like:
 * Lincoln Douglas **
 * Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech. **
 * Information source should be credible;
 * Avoid factual, moral, or logical flaws if possible;
 * Engage with your opponent's case. Avoid purely definition-based debates.
 * Being gamesmanship should be kept to an absolute minimum.
 * Speaking fast is not necessarily effective. I will intervene when you speak too fast;
 * Utilize your time to the maximum;
 * Be confident, but not arrogant;
 * Be polite to your opponent and to me.
 * Misappropriating literature / evidence;
 * Disingenuous or theoretical argumentation;
 * Arguing with me after the round. Feel free to disagree with my vote, but don’t expect me to change my mind.
