6/27/12  good speaking voice!! be confident way to go on nitpicking evidence good job referring to specific points  avoid "they said". refer to specific evidence date the evidence you reference have sources for your data decent analytics, try to incorporate some of your fab evidence good work bringing up tf extend your evidence buddy evidence ??? you need to flow better point out how not recent their elections evidence is  6/28 Round 3 Aff 2A  - Please don’t be rude while we are waiting for another person to come- you should not be watching South Park and playing games – you should be prepping for your round - Be nice to your partner, don’t yell at her - Good job on the roadmap in the 2AC - you do a good job pointing out why their evidence is outdated but explain why it is important - you need to be faster - and you need to sign post—1NC 1—they say, 1NC 2—they say especially on case - you need to be reading evidence in your 2AC not just making analytics - take all of your prep time - take your final speech seriously, you are funny but that’s not what will let you win—you don’t even know if you are aff and neg - you didn’t tell me why the aff is better than the neg  6/29/12  Have more confidence when asking cross-x questions. You’re doing better than you think! And you don’t need to apologize if you mess up. That’s what practice debates are for J It doesn’t matter so much which category your question is under—just ask it. You have a talent for persuasion. You sound very confident and have a sense of humor which is good. Organization will help your 2NC a lot—you jumped around a lot on case. Look at me during your speech, not your opponents. Reading evidence will help you support your arguments. Whether or not racism was the same in 1840 and 1860 is irrelevant to the crux of this debate. Read the evidence, don’t summarize it.  7/1/12  Be sure to read cites during the 1NC—ok you caught yourself later You ask good clarifying questions during cx, but you want to face the judge—convince them you are right rather than your opponent You want to prep during the 2nc—that way you don’t have to prep for the 1nr Good 1nr—you extended all the arguments you were supposed to—be careful not to just narrow it down to repeating the arguments made in the 1nc—you want to extend cards and then read more supporting evidence Really good job staying focused throughout the debate—I’m very impressed with your ability to translate the skills from public forum into policy rounds  

7/6 - Round 1 - Sadagopal
Voted AFF

 7/10  Jason: i thought you did a good job in cross x asking follow up questions--it was clear you were trying to break down internal link chains. Good job pointing out drops in your speeches, but you need to use these neg errors to your advantage by starting comparative claims (impact calculus) earlier in the debate. You were decently quick but watch your time allocation; you got a bit bogged down in case in the 2AC and couldn't properly cover the off case positions. I know going maverick is tough and it takes courage to debate alone, but try to view it as a learning experience next time you're put in that situation. Also, flow. Flow, flow, flow.
