Cuneo,+Arman

Four years of national circuit policy debate in high school. I tried to keep this short, so if you have any specific questions please ask (or email at acuneo7@gmail.com). Some general points: -I try to be as unbiased as possible regarding your selection of argumentative styles and regarding my evaluation of the merit of specific arguments -You should therefore read whatever arguments you're best at and which give you the best chance of winning -Notwithstanding the above, I probably lean slightly towards the "policy" side of things -Flashing is not prep but please know how to use a flash drive -Clarity and good line by line are greatly preferred and appreciated; you should avoid overviews whenever possible -Explain why your arguments matter in the context of the debate as a whole and why they're voting issues Aff: -I tend to lean slightly neg on framework questions; I think that most K affs are not particularly about the topic and I think that it's a huge bonus if your aff actually engages with a topical question -I think that your aff should have some written statement of advocacy CP: -These are great -I try to be neutral on CP theory but it's going to be an uphill battle to get me to agree that I should exclude from debate some large and common category of counterplans (e.g. Agent CPs bad). Theoretical objections which are more specific in nature are likely to be more persuasive.
