Weekend Debates & Talks - Let's Start It Again!
We used to have a wonderful activity until a few weeks ago - weekend talks. I believe the CE Conference can be used to conduct those debates/talks in a better, more structured manner. An idea just popped up in my mind and thought of sharing it with all of you -
1. We'll announce a topic or a list of topic on every Monday.
2. CEans will have time to prepare on the topic or read it throughout the week in their leisure time.
3. We'll announce a conference time in advance - it'll be the most convenient time on weekend. The conference will last no more than 60 or 90 minutes.
4. We'll have select people to act as the moderators of the conference/debate/discussion which will take place through CE Conference ( #-Link-Snipped-# ). During the experiment stage I or our mods will moderate these conferences.
5. The discussion moderator will moderate the talk for 90 minutes and pick one winner based on overall points made by the user. We'll have guidelines for mods as well so anyone of you can become a moderator of the conference.
6. The winner will receive a gift voucher or cash prize from CE 👍.
How does this activity help you - whether you're a student or a professional or an aspiring engineer?
1. Prepare for group discussions - useful in CAT and other competitive exams.
2. The best points will come out in moderated discussions - *extremely* useful in forming opinion / views on topics.
3. Improve your general knowledge & communication skills.
4. Study the topic for an interesting and fun debate - improves your knowledge.
5. We'll pick the most interesting and 'general' topics to begin with so that we get more participation.
Going forward: Each one of you will be able to host your own conference as specific times (like it happens in corporate world). You will be able to host highly technical conferences / discussions / debates and general ones as well.
What say? I'm excited! 😁
