BUS 240 Organizational Management & Development

WORKSHOP


mY first workshop for this unit / subject is to build the last phase of a ROLLER COASTER with one uphill using only 10 SHEETS OF PAPERS. We can use any coin to represent our 'car' and the coin must not shoot out or bang any stopper or barriers. The coin must stop at the end of the track. Our tools are only a long ruler and glue.



Note: they didn't specify what kind of paper or what sizes of papers we must use so i brought all types of papers including cardboards to college the next day. everyone looked at me as i walked towards the classroom. why? because you don't always find college students bringing manila cardboards to a COLLEGE.. kindergarten, meh?

my handbag, pencil case, water bottle, camera pouch and all types of papers. wHat a meSS!!

2nd workshop

firstly, we have to divide ourselves into 2 groups and challenge each other.

The name of my group is Fruit Punch. The name of the other group is Fast Forward. hehe, all starts with the letter F.. ^V^

Each group have to come out with three challenges. Therefore the six challenges are:

  1. Sit on the floor with one leg bended to the side and one leg 90 degrees to the front. Bend your body till your chin touches the knee of your leg which is facing the front. Fruit Punch : 1 ( thx to lee san)

  2. Exchange handphone with the other group and type the title of our textbook with the exact big letters and small letters as fast as possible. Fruit Punch : 2 ( Lee san again)

  3. Insert all five fingers till your knuckles into your mouth. Fast Forward : 1 ( girls with small hands)

  4. Pour a cup of water to the other cup in a 'teh tarik' style. it's not easy Fast Forward : 2

  5. Sign your signature in a mirror image using both Right and Left hands. Fruit Punch : 3 ( cheers to khadijah, she's from Maldives)

  6. Pass a name card around using your mouth. Fast Forward : 3 (boo to me)

A tie. Thus, we have arm wrestling between the girls and Fast Forward girls are STRONG!!

After that, we have a role play and....
this is my script :

my script. my background, the company's profile and my resume

My name is Joel D' Ambrosini. I'm 32 years old and I'm about to get married soon. LOL...

So the script is about a few people was being hired into a multinational company called Software R Us and we have many questions about our benefits working in the company. All the questions are directed to the CEO and a lot of other managers. My my .. it was so so funny and fun!!

-workshops are fun, so unlike other tutorials-
