Hello, my name is MeeNa Ko and I am part of the Public Relations subgroup in Team 122, the NASA Knights. I'm relatively new to the site, so I apologize if this thread is out of place, needlessly repetitive, or anything like that. >.<

Chief Delphi has always been a great way to talk to other teams as well as letting your own team be known. Our team as been slacking on these forums, so we want to do as much as we can to get involved again. I've suggested organizing a "mini-subgroup" consisting of at least one student from each subgroup to work together on Chief Delphi. As well as being knowledgeable, students need to be flexible enough to work on posting online.

I would like to organize a test to evaluate the potential of the students on my team. The test won't be anything multiple choice or fill-in-the blank, as I feel like that would be a poor indicator of value. The test will be hand-written and have a ten-minute time limit. It will consist of five "threads" based off of the various questions on Chief Delphi. The test will also be intentionally designed so that students will not be able to answer every question by themselves. After all, it's very difficult for students to know information not related to their subgroup. However, the time limit is one of the only restrictions on the test. Students are allowed and encouraged to work with other students and mentors to answer the questions, the only exception is not to use the internet/computer. With these rules, we'll be able to evaluate whether one can cooperate with other people as well as quickly gather information. We'll also be evaluating the originality and "voice" of the response. Cookie-cutter answers will not cut the cake.

If you would like to offer some example threads to put on the test or have any suggestions or questions about this process, please let me know. Also, any obvious problems you see with the test would also be appreciated. I would also like to point out that this test is not set in stone as of yet. This is only being endorsed by me has not been presented to our main mentor, Ms. T. The reason being is that I don't like presenting without some sort of definite outline... *cough* Thank you for reading this, and I'd love to hear your response!
