BEST ANSWER WILL BE CHOSEN

Answer these set of questions and the best answers will be chosen as best answer.

RATE THE DEBATE

INSTRUCTIONS: There are many different things to look for when watching a debate. Read the following questions to help prepare you before you watch the debate. Then, choose two questions under each of the headings (10 questions total) and answer them in the right hand column as you watch the debate. After the debate answer the After the Debate question at the end of the handout.

Rate the debate format: A good format should be interesting and fair, should provide information about the candidates' views on the issues and should help you judge the candidates' leadership qualities. In evaluating the debate format, consider:

1. Does it give all candidates equal opportunity to speak and to respond to opponents?

2. Does it hold your interest? Does it allow the differences between the candidates to surface?

3. Does it make it easy for the candidates to talk about the issues? Does it allow the candidates to state their views clearly? Does it allow the candidates to be pinned down?

4. Does it give you insight into the candidates' personalities and leadership qualities?

Rate the moderator/panelists

1. Is the moderator in control of the debate?

2. Are the questions fair? Are they equally tough on all candidates?

3. Are the questions clear? Is there enough information so that viewers understand the meaning of the answers? Are follow-up questions used to help pin down the candidates?

4. Do the questions cover the important issues? Are there any major issues that are not mentioned?

5. Does the moderator or do any of the panelists talk too much?

6. Does the moderator allow each candidate the same amount of time to talk?

Image: The power of image can cause voters to overlook the substance of a debate. Therefore, as you evaluate candidates consider:

1. Are you influenced by the age, sex, clothes, posture or other physical characteristics of the candidates? How?

2. What impressions do the candidates convey as the debate progresses? Who appears more relaxed? more sincere? more confidant?

3. Who knows how to use television better? Do the candidates look directly at you (into the camera) or elsewhere (at the panelists, live audience, etc.)? Does this affect your overall impression of the candidates?

Substance

1. Do the candidates answer or evade the questions?

2. Do the candidates tell you their stands on issues or do they respond with emotional appeals and campaign slogans?

3. Do the candidates give their own views, or do they mostly attack the opponent? Are the attacks personal or directed at the opponent's policies?

4. Are the answers consistent with the candidates' previous positions?

5. Is the candidate well informed? Do the candidates use facts and figures to help you understand or to confuse you?

6. Are the answers realistic or are they just campaign promises? You may want to read a transcript or view a videotape of the debate to help answer these questions.

Rate the impact of the debate: Political debates are but one event in a long campaign season. How has the debate influenced the campaign? In evaluating the impact of a debate, consider the following:

1. At what stage in the campaign is the debate taking place?

2. What press coverage, if any, is there of the debate? Does it cover important issues or focus on attention-getting details (mistakes, slogans, etc.)?

3. Did the debate change press coverage of the campaign? Are different issues emphasized?

4. Did the candidates' ratings in the polls change after the debate?

5. Has interest in the campaign changed? How?

6. Have the behavior, policy positions or campaign strategy of either candidate changed? How?

After the Debate:

1. Based on the answers to the above questions, how would your rate each presidential candidate in the debate (on a scale of 1-great to 5-poor).
