Corbett,+Mary

M. Corbett Paradigm  When judging a Lincoln Douglas debate, I expect to observe the following:
 * Clashing with civility with the understanding that historically, ethics and philosophy are central to the LD format
 * Outstanding oratory with appropriate speed (7), tone and emphasis on a few compelling statements
 * Effective use of the connection of the value to the resolution; it’s a “values debate”
 * Please make eye contact; don’t hide behind your notes or computer
