Judging philosophy:
Robbie Goodrich Currently-Rutgers Assistant Former D 8 Coach and Debater @ WCSU 3rd Year Coaching and Judging I believe debate has a significant educational value that goes far beyond research and accumulation of knowledge. Therefore I consider debate a unique pedagogical experience and the participants should act accordingly. Paperless Debate: Novices catch a break. JV and Open, “all time” in between speeches that is not CX will be Prep. If both teams agree to an alternative then so will I. Decision Calculus: “…each decision is different and requires an absolutely unique interpretation, which no existing, coded rule can or ought to guarantee completely…” Derrida 1990 I will place a high value on your performance and will evaluate your Ethical stance, use of Logic, and Pathos. I understand debates that are technical and treat the activity as a game and judge them accordingly. I love debates that examine the historical and socio-cultural significance of law. I place a significant value on growing a productive reflexivity within debate and enjoy debates about debate.
