Evaluation Masterclass by Fursey Gotuaco
This video features an in-depth workshop focusing on the art of evaluating speeches, particularly within a Toastmasters context. The facilitator emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between observable facts and personal interpretations when assessing speeches. Participants engage in discussions, critiques, and evaluations of both visual cues in videos and live speeches. The session places great emphasis on proper body language, gestures, and the significance of audience engagement. Throughout the workshop, practical tips are shared for both evaluators and speakers to enhance their skills — encouraging cooperation, constructive criticism, and personal growth.
