When you are the General Evaluator
22:20| To be a good General Evaluator is similar to be a good Individual Evaluator. The only difference is that the General Evaluator's comments cover all areas of the meeting--to be positive yet point out the weakness for the club to improve. | |
| 1. | Before the meeting |
| Contact your evaluator team (individual evaluators and the language evaluator). Make sure they know they will show up at the meeting and know how to do their job. If they don't know, help them. Also, prepare what to say to introduce them. As a General Evaluator, arrive at the meeting place earlier. Understand even what's going on before the meeting. | |
| 2. | Upon arrival of the meeting |
| Sit near the back of the room to allow yourself full view of the meeting and its participants. | |
| 3. | During the meeting |
| Take notes on everything that happens. For example, does the meeting start on time? Is the club banner hung up? Is there any distraction that should be avoided? Cover each participant on the program. Look for strength and weakness of session masters and speakers. But manual speakers have their own Individual Evaluators, so it's not necessary to reevaluate the speaker. Of course you can add something that the individual evaluator has missed. Surely you can evaluate how the individual evaluators did their jobs. | |
| 4. | When you give evaluation |
Take control of the meeting from Toastmaster of the
Day. You can say a few words about the importance
of general evaluation or how you are going to do it!
Before you give your comments, ask Timer and Ah-counter
to give a report. Then the Language Evaluator should be
called to do his job. At last it is your turn to give your
comment. Be a General Evaluator, not a generous
evaluator. Be strict yet full of encouragement.
