Week 2 Tutorial

In the very first Communication and Organization tutorial, the class started off with a self-introduction to the whole class and getting to know each other as group mates. In the second session, a group exercise – Stranded Survival Exercise was given out and we were asked to discuss it within our own group. My group members and I started off the discussion by understanding the whole stranded survival scenario first as some of us had a different understanding towards the given scenario. After discussion and confirmation with the tutor on the scenario, we began by running through the stranded survival list individually and making our own choices and decisions before coming together and discussing it as a group. After completing the task individually, we shared our decisions and picked the best choices before presenting it to the class. Many difficult choices were to be made and we couldn’t settle on a choice thus we decided to have a voting system. This way, each group members had a say in making the decision and everyone’s point of view was taken into consideration. In my opinion, this group exercise was fairly important and useful as it gave me a chance to get to know my group mates better by exchanging our different views and opinions.
