Each judge should review all the video clips carefully. For each student, please rate on a scale of 0-4 (0=poor and 4=excellent) for the following categories:

  • Time management;
  • Verbal techniques;
  • Organization/flow & effectiveness;
  • Confidence & manner (e.g., did the student rely too much on notes? does he/she have some bad habbits while speaking?)
  • Eye contact;
  • Knowledge on the subject;
  • Did the student speak appropriately for his/her role?
  • Did the student appear to have done enough homework?
  • Did the student provide useful empirical evidences to the argument?
  • Is the presentation interesting?
  • Was the student perceptive to the weak points on the opposite side?

In addition, for each student presented, please write one aspect that you think he/she did the best and one aspect that needs improvements.

We will have more videos uploaded next week. You don’t have to submit the scores to me now. Please wait until you have watched all the debate videos for Issue 1.
