25 Feb 2010Yesterday, on February 24 , the Internal Evaluation Contest was held!!
It was held for the first time in our Toastmasters club. The main idea of the contest is to compare, to open and to show the most important points of evaluator’s role, because evaluators are responsible not only for their role but also for the speaker whom they evaluate.
The main evaluator’s duties are:
- to carefully analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the speaker’s presentation.
-to offer specific recommendations for improvement. Recommendations should be practical, helpful and positive, and they should enable the speaker to improve his or her next presentation.
-to be sensitive to the feelings and needs of the speaker,
yet inspire and encourage the speaker in his/her future speaking efforts.
The winners of the First Internal Evaluation Contest are:
1st place – Zoya Gulko
2nd place – Evgeniy Shulga
3rd place – Evgeniy Zheribor
Congratulations to our winners and participants!!
They show us professionals skills in evaluation and public speaking!!
Gratitude to our guest judges: Svetlana Stavskaya, Olga Pystynzeva and Victor Fursov.
Thanks to Oksana Nikiforova. She was the test speaker at the contest.
Special thanks to Timur Berezhnoy (the main organizator of the contest and the main judge) and to Julia Dmytriyshin (the chairperson of the contest) who made this event bright, interesting and usefull.
