I look to evaluate based on the strength of arguments and the ability to stand your ground against opposition. While evidence and supporting information is very important, it is how you use the information you’ve gathered and how you craft your arguments that will set you apart. Use your evidence to bolster your arguments and dismantle the opposition.

I tend to favor more logical conveyance of arguments rather than ones that rely on ethos.

I’m not going to worry if you stutter slightly or take a moment to pause. It takes courage and strength to know when to pause and gather your thoughts before continuing your argument.

Just remember two things: be respectful and believe in yourself.
