Online Guide to Meeting Assignments
Table Topics Evaluator
| Purpose |
 |
To provide quick
feedback on how well each speaker was able to present their table topic. |
| |
|
You have to be concise and precise in
what you report. Too many Table Topic Evaluators are guilty of exceeding
the time imposed. |
| |
|
|
| Before the
meeting begins |
|
The Table Topic
Master should have given you a list of questions that will be asked. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
What to do during your assignment |
|
As with all
evaluations, your presentation should be positive, upbeat, instructive
and basically congratulatory. |
|
|
2-3 minutes is not
long. It gives you enough time for a few general comments, then 20-30
seconds per speaker. |
|
|
Do not comment on or
embellish what the speaker said. Rather, evaluate the degree of
effectiveness achieved in achieving a sound structure, and in procuring
audience reaction, especially to the acceptance of a point of view. |
| |
|
A common structure to
recommend goes by the acronym P.R.E.P. When the topic is given, the
speaker should make a Point, give a Reason for the point, provide an
Example or two, then reiterate the Point. |
| |
|
Discuss trends
amongst the speakers and limit your remarks on individuals to those to
whom you can give helpful advice. In order to keep in your time limit,
don't discuss the good answers at length. They can be mentioned in
passing so that you can devote your remarks to the areas and people
where they can do the most good. |
| |
|
In essence try and
give one good point and one point for improvement about each speaker. |
| |
|
Hand back to the
Table Topic Master. |
| |
|
That is the end of
your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator. |
