[Qelxiros]

Thanks!

[Qelxiros]

This is incorrect

[tallen42]

I have ensured that "(the) Membership Eval" is the term used consistently.

[Qelxiros]

This is also incorrect, and inconsistent with the above

[tallen42]

I have ensured that "(the) Membership Eval" is the term used consistently.

[Qelxiros]

@tallen42 "Eval Process" was fine, and you seem to misunderstand the system of abbreviations. All the abbreviations are available in Section 1.A, and they are used throughout the document, except in section headers. Please don't try to introduce your own abbreviations.

[tallen42]

@Qelxiros Is it "Eval Process", "Eval process", or "Eval"? While I see that "Eval(s)" is an Abbreviation, and can reasonably be assumed that within the subsection "Membership Evaluation", "Eval" would refer to Membership Evaluation, whether process should exist or be capitalized is unclear.

My changes were being made for the sake of clarity and consistency, but once we decide on this, I will implement this consistently (and without any new abbreviations).

[Qelxiros]

"Eval Process" is correct when referring to spring evals the evaluation process. I think sometimes we just say "Eval" when referring to the event (spring evals) itself , but I'm not 100% sure.

[tallen42]

@Qelxiros Eval Process is set everywhere now, we should be good to go!

[Qelxiros]

See above edits; sorry that I wasn't clear. Most instances of Eval or Membership Eval were correct.

[tallen42]

My understanding from the section "Evaluations Processes" combined with all the Evals I've been in is that the Evals Director reads out the section of the constitution at the start of a Membership Evaluation, which would make it the Membership Evaluations Process, no?

[shaeespring]

I'm confused as to why "Eval Process" is better. How does it distinguish itself from Introductory Eval Process without having "Membership" there?

Resolved changes

[shaeespring]

I think a more pedantic person should also approve but I can't see any issues. The lack of statement stating Expectations of Active Members are yearly unless stated otherwise makes me sad, but it is correct

[Qelxiros]

See comments below. Also, does the Intro Eval section need to change now to specify which Eval it is?

[Qelxiros]

You can add Membership here, but the previous sentence was better otherwise.

[tallen42]

I strongly disagree; see the sentences before and after it. They both start with "The Membership Eval" - it seems weird that the sentence in the middle was "It is performed as part of the Eval Process"
Also, the Eval Process is a weird term that really only needs to apply for 6 weeks since that's a process. The only "Process" for active membership is passing the Membership Evaluation in the spring. Calling this a Process is weird and feels highly incorrect

[Qelxiros]

The paragraph flows better if we allow ourselves to use pronouns. Three sentences in a row that start with The Membership Eval is stuffy.

If you really want to get rid of the Process reference, I can get behind that.

[tallen42]

I added pronouns
