  8. How do you think you did on the mini debates?

    What do you think you need to work on?
    I need to work on the varsity aspects of debate. Like kritiks and framework. T is just a skill that needs to be practiced and ya.
    What is the hardest thing in debate for you?
    The hardest thing for me in debate is kritiks because i am still new to them. I catch on fast though.
    What would you like to be good at by the time debate starts?
    I would like to be good at all aspects of debate but most importantly kritical debate.
    What are your strengths/weaknesses?
    I am a fairly well balanced debater. I have very few experience on the varsity level but i hope to improve quickly. As far as right now i am stronger in the T and theory debate, and weakest in the framework and kritik debate.

    What are your strengths/weaknesses?
    my weakness is i read stuff in round and drop it, finding that i needed it later. i also have issues articulating things i need to-i second guess myself a lot. i really don't know my strengths.
