This document provides guidance on group discussions. It defines a group discussion as a method where a small number of people meet face-to-face to discuss and solve problems or make decisions. The objectives are to improve students' communication skills, teamwork, and critical thinking. Employers use group discussions in interviews to evaluate candidates' leadership, knowledge, communication abilities, and ability to work well in a team. Some tips provided include actively listening, clearly expressing ideas, using appropriate body language, cooperating with others, and not dominating the conversation.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

7. Definition of Group Discussion
Group Discussion is a modern method of
assessing students personality.
It is both a technique and an art and a
comprehensive tool to judge the worthiness
of the student and his appropriateness for
the job.
8. WHAT IS GROUP DISCUSSION?
Nowadays Group Discussion is being extensively used
along with personal interviews for the final selection of
candidates.
It plays a main role in selecting the best among the best.
Having scored high marks, students who get selected for a
higher/another course or employment are placed on a par -
on equal footing - based on their age, qualification and
experience.
It becomes necessary to conduct further screening for
choosing a few among many. It is here, the Group
Discussion plays an important part.
It helps in choosing the socially suitable candidate among
the academically superior achievers.
9. Features Of Group Discussion
It is an exchange of ideas among the individuals of a
group on a specific topic.
Group Discussion is an informal discussion in which
participants of the same educational standard discuss
a topic of current interest.
It is also known as leaderless discussion. It means its
aim is to find out the natural leadership level of the
candidates.
10. Group Discussion
It refers to the situation where a particular
number of people (three to eight) meet face
to face and through free oral interaction,
originate, share and discuss ideas to arrive
at a decision or solution to a problem.
Group discussions are used for decision-
making and problem solving.
They are also used widely as a personality
test for evaluating several candidates
simultaneously.
11. NATURE AND SCOPE
The more your ideas and the more your knowledge of
the subject, the more interested, enthusiastic and
confident you would become and the more fluent and
forceful would be your speech and contribution to the
discussion.
12. Categories of Group Discussion
Organizational group discussions
Group discussions as a part of a
selection process.
13. The Nominal Group technique
Restricts discussion or interpersonal communication
during the decision-making process
Though group members are all physically present
as in a tradition committee meeting, they
operate independently
14. Structure
The group sits in circle or U-shape
They may either be given their choice of seat
or seat allotted.
This panel observes and evaluates
15. Evaluation Components
During a GD employers evaluate potential for
leadership and ability to work in a team.
The four components generally evaluated in a
group discussion are:
Knowledge
Communication skills
Group behaviour
Leadership potential
17. Tone: Quality or character of the voice
expression a particular feeling or mood
Voice: Power of speech
Articulation: Act of speaking or expressing an
idea in words
Fluency: Speaking or writing in an easy,
flowing style
Modulation: Variations in rate, tone, or
volume of voice
Good delivery: The ideas expressed fluently in
the right voice, right tone, and right
articulation.
It isn’t sufficient to have ideas. They have to be
expressed effectively.
18. Apt Language
o Fluency and accuracy in use of language free
from grammatical errors.
o Directly, clearly and precisely put ideas in a
organized fashion.
o Simplicity and unambigusity
o Using too much of jargon or high-sounding
words or ambiguous expressions may project
as a show-off and may not endear to group
members.
19. Effective Use of Body Language
Looking attentively at the speaker and nodding
While speaking, ensuring no one is ignored.
Looking at everybody.
Avoiding overt gestures
Avoiding pointing out fingers
Avoiding monotonous posture by shifting slightly
in the chair or placing arm on the back of your
chair
Not showing interest or dislike in the topic.
Even if one does not like the topic he should try to
develop interest and reveal interest and
enthusiasm through appropriate facial expression.
20. Group Behaviour ( Team Spirit)
group behaviour is reflected in ability to interact
with other members of the group on brief
acquaintance.
Emotional maturity and balance promotes
good interpersonal relationships. One is
expected to be more people centric and less
ego centric.
Remaining objective, empathetic, and non-
threatening, and behaving maturely as a good
team player
21. Essence
Consistency participation
Keenness in listening and observing
Time sharing and orderly conduct
Ability to handle turbulent situations

o The success of any team depends to a large extent,
on its leader.

ability and coordinating ability would emerge as
the leader.

physical energy, emotional stability, objectivity,
communication skill, integrity and emotional
intelligence
