- introduce the word of the day (or an expression, an idiom, etc.), explain the correct use of it and give some examples of its use. It should be a word that will help members increase their vocabulary and one that can be incorporated easily into everyday conversation, but is different from the way people usually express themselves. Adjectives and adverbs are more adaptable than nouns or verbs, but feel free to select your own special word. If you know the theme of the meeting, use this to help you select your word.
- print the word of the day in big letters on two sheets of paper: hang one of them on the lectern and put the second one on the table in the middle of the ‘U’ shape (where audience sits) so that the members which are on the stage as well as the audience see the word of the day (more effective than writing it on the board since it’s hard to see for most of the audience)
- count the use of the word of the day for everyone who spoke on the stage
Check in the CL (Competent Leadership) manual if this role fulfills any of the projects of the manual. If it does, don’t forget to bring your CL manual to the meeting and before the meeting ask someone to evaluate you in that role.

- Your job is to evaluate around 12 roles in 10 – 10:30 min. Therefore you must make concise comments – you are certainly not exempt from the above timings!
Below are the main points of a good General Evaluation – remember – this is the most important role for quality control and development of Club Meetings – treat the GE job with great respect!
- Arrive at meeting a few minutes early to observe advance preparation of Sergeant at Arms etc.
- Sit somewhere where you can focus on the whole meeting undisturbed.
- Before meeting starts think of something(s) that you want to focus on – Timings
- Audience participation, quality of all evaluations , friendliness towards visitors, respect for all speakers (i.e. no talking when someone is speaking during whole meeting)
- Paper pushing :-) How are notes passed for voting? Do people know who to pass them to?
- Is the room arranged well for speaking – as General Evaluator this is your chance for making alternative seating plan.
- Be exemplary in your use of evaluation speak – make a general comment about the meeting and then one specific commendation and recommendation for each speaker. Evaluation team can sometimes be grouped together e.g. those who did a good job of CRC and how we can all learn from this!
- Your final statement MUST be within 30 sec of your time limit.. If you are nowhere near the end say you will give evaluation to the remaining people with roles directly after the meeting, just wrap up your evaluation
- A simple GE form you can use is available here (print it or you get it from the Sergeant at Arms). However, feel free to use another or your own form if you like.

- You can divide the audience into two (or more) groups according to gender, color of hair, hungry /not hungry, etc! ;) or members can compete as individuals.
- Your questions should be neither too easy nor too difficult, i.e. if members shout the correct answer before you finish the question, that was a too easy question.
- Only ask questions you know the answers to! ;)
- The person who the question is about can not answer the question (logical,right? ;))
- You’re the one who decides who was the first one to give the correct answer, not the audience so don’t let them argue with you

You evaluate Table Topic Speakers whose speeches are 1-2 min. You have 5 min to evaluate about eight TT Speakers, i.e. you have less than 40 sec for one Speaker: give 1-2 commendations and 1-2 recommendations to every of them. Do not go in detail here, there isn’t really a point since it’s an impromptu speech. Try to choose such recommendations that can be useful to other members, as well.
Your job is to evaluate TT Speakers, not the TT Master (that’s G. Evaluator’s job).
