Judge Name Molinaro, Katja High School Graduation Year 2013 Judge Email molinaro.katja@gmail.com How would you describe your Policy Debate experience? Coach a team, High School debater How many rounds have you judged on this year's topic? 5 What is the best descriptor of your judging style for policy debate? Tabula Rasa Judge Preferences > > > > > > > > Please indicate your overall judging paradigm. I debated in high school (2009-2013) and during my freshman year at University of Michigan (13-14). Not yet super familiar with the 2017-18 HS topic, so please explain acronyms, etc. General paradigm: tabula rasa. Tell me how to evaluate the round and that's how I'll do it. These are never deciding factors, but a few personal preferences - T - Unless the aff is blatantly not topical, I'd rather watch a debate with different arguments. Theory - Same thing kinda goes. Need you to prove legitimate abuse. Ks - Really like them, but only if you slow down a little, explain the argument without a ton of jargon, and give it a real world impact. Performance - Super limited experience judging these rounds, but open to it! Speak as quickly as you're able while maintaining clarity. Line-by-line is very helpful. I seriously avoid judge intervention and won't ask for evidence unless I absolutely need to. Please do impact calc. Anything else, feel free to ask before the round!
