This presentation will cover the main activities of judging at a GP. The presentation will start with preparing for the GP and will cover all the usual activities one can participate in during the GP. | |
| 11:30 - 12:30 | Reviews Mihai Bîrsan |
For many of us, especially new judges, writing reviews may seem like a daunting task. I felt the same way too! But once you break down reviews into their essence, it's gets way easier. In this workshop we'll first discuss how to give effective feedback in general, then apply those fundamentals of effective feedback to reviews. And here's a little reward for reading this summary through: the first step to giving effective feedback is paying attention. In the next months until the conference, pay close attention to one or more of the judges you work or interact with; just observe, don't make judgments and don't make it a goal to give feedback. We'll use these observations in the first exercise! | |
| 12:30 - 16:30 | Lunch | ||
| 16:30 - 18:00 | How to present a ruling Ivan Stefanov |
The return of the popular judging workshop, where you are not just listening about rulings but get a chance to experience or deliver them. Interactive scenarios, timely feedback and lots of fun for everyone! It is so beautifully engineered that it is more real than real judging! | |
| 18:00 - 19:30 | DQ workshop Giorgos Trichopoulos |
Judge's slogan is "keep it fun, keep it fair". In the workshop we will focus on fairness by helping you spotting cheaters. We will present some scenarios and we will analyse them together step by step. Your active participation is required. | |
| 19:30 - 00:00 | Free time | ||
| Sunday | |||
| 8:00 - 9:00 | Breakfast | ||
| 9:00 - 10:00 | Getting Involved Alex Papageorgiou |
This presentation is centered on initiative and where a judge can expend it. We are going to discuss Judge Projects, draw parallels to open source projects and see what people can offer and gain from such activities. We will be speaking about the more popular and the more famous Projects, such as the Annotated IPG team or the teams behind [O] blogs. Our focus is not only projects though. We will also analyze what an active judge can do for his/her community on a local level. This is not meant to be a one-man-show, but rather, an exchange of ideas and why not - positive promises! | |
| 10:00 - 11:00 | Collusion/Bribery Yakup Çakmak |
This presentation will be about how to separate which is illegal which is not as well as clearing the topics for everyone on both MTR and IPG. There will be examples along with rules and different opinions from different judges all over the world will be shown. Also, how to notice, what to do, how to watch these situations and when to suspect. | |
| All topics include a 10' brake |

(22 km. after Keşan) The main road splits for another settlement named "Vakıf" to the left, drive through the village and take the signs for DSI the Hotel is right at the beach and is called “Vakıf Hotel”. the exit for the hotel takes a sharp left and goes down a slight slope towards the beach.
