Session 7 - Midterm Review - March 5


Responses from you Ticket Outs from Session 8!


What are you curious about?
  • How hard the midterm will be! STUDY TIPS
    • Don't worry too much, but make sure you know the ins and outs of your chart quizzes and the material covered in class! The questions will be pulled directly from the packets you received in class, so answer all of those and particularly review what you got wrong!
  • When Suspend the Rules suspends parliamentary procedure.
  • What will the performance section of the midterm look like?
    • Dr. Foster will chair a 'meeting' in which six students participate at a time. You'll each get one (1) motion that you will have to demonstrate.
    • Grading for this section:
      • 20%: correctly demonstrated
      • 10%: incorrectly demonstrated
      • 0%: not demonstrated
  • Does the Chair always talk the majority of the time?
    • No. In class we're don't debate near as much as the amount that actually happens in deliberative bodies, so in class the Chair seems to talk the majority of the time.
  • Difference between the final and the midterm?
    • The final is the accreditation exam so it is just multiple choice. You can choose to take it for actual SAEP accreditation if you would like, but will need to pay the $5 testing fee in order to do so.
  • Why can't Take From the Table be made at the time a recess has been scheduled?
    • As stated in RONR, p. 300, Take From the Table takes precedence over no other motion. Additionally, when a group is not in session no motions related to the group may be made.

What did you learn?
  • Midterm structure and review
  • How to use all 24 motions 
  • Putting everything together
  • You can adjourn before a vote
  • #Gryffindor4Life & #gryffindorcantstop <-- lots of pride! Congrats!
  • How to make 24 motions in ~15min
    • Obviously in real life there will be much more debate and difference of opinion (no one will be racing to get all 24 in quickly!) so don't expect this to only ever take this long! ;) 
  • Reconsider is only debatable if the motion it's applied to is debatable
  • Better practice with motions in actual meetings
  • The three ways to vote to Rescind
   
What do you want to learn more about?
  • What breed of dog we would like?!
  • How to use the motions effectively
    • The best advice I can give is to know what each motions means and does, and then to know its characteristics. You'll have an arsenal of parlia pro knowledge!
  • Elections and Officers
    • See you on April 2nd! Cassie's excited to teach this session :) Check out Robert's while you're bored on the beach and start looking into it!
  • More mock meetings please!
    • I've passed it on!
  • Voting
    • Right after the midterm on March 26th! But again, check out Robert's while you're bored on the beach and start looking into it!
  • Rules of an Assembly organization
    • Each one will have their own, so check out their Bylaws.
  • Taking From the Table cannot interrupt a series of connected main motions. Can you show me where in the book that is?
    • RONR, p. 302-303
