Out bound training program at the naval camp I can consider this episode of my block is about a kind of different program compared to other activities that we had weekly in the university. As undergraduates normally we have hectic life styles by doing assignments, doing presentations.  We spent very hectic in front of the laptops coding. For people like this was a wonderful opportunity to pay more attention to our soft skills. Officers at  the navy camp had organised many fun activities for us to do. Though we were tired at the moment we were willingly participate for those games. All the games were based on personal progression. We learnt how to follow the leader as well as how to express our ideas among group members. We had a very colourful evening at the camp beach. We were asked to preform items such as songs dances and dramas. Although we had not enough time to be prepared,  we have done a great job and we made that night a wonderful one. ...

Barter puzzle As previous activities, in this week also we had a very nice ppd session with an exciting game called batter puzzle. According to my point of view, this batter puzzle game represent the society that we are about to go through and which we cannot avoid. Because of that reason, everybody played that very well. The task was: the lecture gave us a picture of a magazine and gave 10 minutes to have a good look on it. Then 2 members of each group including the leader asked cut that picture into 100 parts and separate 10 parts. The lecturer collected all separated parts from each group and mixed well. Then she divided all the 30 pats into 3 groups and gave us again. Then we had to make the picture correctly within 10 minutes. First of all, our team leader kept mixed 10 parts in her hand and separate unwanted parts. Then we divided our group into some subgroups and we fixed the puzzle. Finally we completed picture by collecting all parts. Then there were some volunte...

The goals This week we have done a bit different activity (an individual one) for our weekly ppd session. In other weeks we normally did group activities in order to improve our skills in team working, but in this week the activity that we have done, can be considered as a self observation. We were asked to bring card board and color pens in the last day of the first sem. Then we were asked to draw a chart about our life goals. First of all we divided goals into 3 parts. 1. Academic goals 2. Professional goals 3. Personal goals We created beautiful charts. In this week we were asked to bring all those charts we had made that day to do the presentation. Then we had done a small description about our life goal chart. As it was our first presentation we were little nervous. The thing I focused most was : 1. things what I really like 2. Things that I want to happen in my future 3. What I have done to achive my goals 4. Do I spend enough time and my attention ...
