Look Back

By now we have reached to the end of the Personal Progress Development course module with lots of skills and wonderful memories. When I came to the university, the very first day I was so scared, because this is a totally different environment with new friends, totally different culture and all these things. In the first PPD session we had to introduce our selves and there are some activities to get to know others. after that there were some games and activities like lava river, blind square, blind submarine and around 30 activities to build up and improve our soft skills specially leadership, time management, decision making, creativity. We did all these activities in group wise. Then we became very close friends like sisters and brothers in a one family.

Not only these kind of games there were some sessions about time management, career planning, how to become a millionaire like motivational sessions. 
From above all these things we could improve our some sort of soft skills in the 1st year. Some of these are,
  • Team work
  • Time management
  • Communication skills
  • Problem solving
  • Self-confident
  • Decision making
  • Leadesship
  • Creativity
  • Commitment
Then there were another set of PPD activities in 2nd year. Mainly barter puzzle, pen and thread game, expert game, CV writing, hotel school session, outbound training and session about latest software engineering trends like variety of sessions. From all these session we learnt a lot more than 1st year and enjoyed very well as well as gather lots of wonderful memories with uni buddies.
There is the basic motivation to improve our self. It's either coming from inspiration and we are looking to get better than we already are, or it comes out of desperation: something unpleasant challenges us to grow.
According to my opinion, this personal progress development is a very important session for us as undergraduate. Future will be more competitive world than we expect. Therefore it is must to go ahead with all these skills. Otherwise we will fail there, though we have enough technical skills. As the conclusion this session helped us to mainly boost our confident, improve our self awareness, develop our strengths and forces us out of our comfort zone. Therefore, Finally I would like to give my sincere thanks to Ms.Sarasi Senadeera to conduct this session for us.

We enjoy that time period because it is different from other lectures, because we people are not like to sitting at the same place around three- four and listening to a lecture.  At that day, first we thought that it also another lecture.

Expert game As every Tuesday morning, we were looking for an interesting PPD activity in the class room. As same as most of other days, madam came and we were formed into 5 groups and asked us to identify 3 people who are specialist👊 in any field. Each group had identified 3 specialist people. Then each specialist had to talk about his/her specialist field like, interesting memories with this field, good things and also drawbacks in that field to their group members within 5 minutes. After this, all the members in each group got some sort of idea about those field.  Our group had specialist people in fields of cooking, cricket and riding motor bikes.💪 Then we were asked to make a one product by combining all 3 specialist fields.

It was really nice idea and we enjoyed very much.💗 We could improve Presentation skills Team work Creativity Positive thinki...
