Start with a brief Introduction, followed by One-minute time to jot down points. Post that a candidate can use Raise-Hand feature on platform to start GD first. Moderator will make sure that everyone gets one-minute time to speak one by one.
3) Feedback and Evaluation
Post GD apart from giving the individual one-on-one feedback, moderator must fill a Mandatory Evaluation Form, where Junior Students will be evaluated on a five- point scale based on 6 parameters [Idea is to give a Quantifiable Cut to Feedback and it will help candidates to track performance and identify areas which needs improvement.] For each group Moderators can either split 5-5 members among themselves and record their score or can take average of both the moderator’s individual score as per convenience. For each candidate only one final score should be submitted.
Parameters of Evaluation are as followed:
I. Content Quality [Knowledge and Expertise of Topic] II. Verbal Communication [Includes Voice Modulation + Etiquette + Fluency] III. Non-Verbal Communication [Posture + Expression + Gesture; since it may be difficult to track it in online mode, it is made optional in form] IV. Number of Entries [Evaluation based on ideal number of entries] V. Value Addition [Overall Contribution to Discussion] VI. Listening Ability [Listening and Comprehending other members views].
