Personal reflection

In general, this course was interesting, clear and useful because of Mr. Gregory. He told us what it will be about and he motivates us by telling the students that he will support us in whatever things which we need a help for.

Our first work was about C.V, he teaches us how to write the C.V and what the information’s that should include in it.  we will graduate next year with bachelor degree and we need to apply the C.V to different companies, so knowing how to write a C.V helped us a lot and when we got the job we will remember Mr. Gregory and thanks god because he teach us.

Another useful thing that we learn is the application letter which is very important document that attach with the C.V when applying for the job in the future.

After that, we did the interview which help us to answer answer the question and what the important thing that should focus on it and how we get their attention. Then, we did the meeting which will help us when we work in any company.

All things that we learn it in this course we really need it in real life and in our daily life because these things will help anyone in his work and help the people to improve their self and how they do their work.

The only things that I didn’t like it in this course that most of the topic are repeated and we studied it in previous  semester but because these topic we help me in my life and its useful for me, I don’t refuse to take it every semester.

Report on the group meeting

Based on the agenda that we made our meeting was on HCT credit system based on the student survey result. It is a very interesting topic. The meeting conducted last Thursday on 27-October 2011. We started the meeting at 8:15and it took place in T005 at ADMC. Our group consists of Osama Mohamed, Mohamed Al kamali and Sultan Al Bloushi. Sultan was the chairman of the meeting, which he had to play the biggest and most important role of the meeting. Osama Mohamed was the note taker which is a big role in any meeting.

After the chairman had welcomed everyone to the meeting we started the meeting. We moved to our Agenda and Sultan decided to take the issues in order and spend 2 to 3 minutes on each item plus 5 minutes for the introduction and 5 minutes for the conclusion, because we only had 25 minutes to finish up this meeting. We discussed five different items related to our topic, the time table, courses, attendance, English courses and summer courses. We went through each item and we discussed the points which were related to that particular item.

Everyone had different opinions involving different points and each one of us provided his own point of view. We were all agreed with most of the point so we are going to start working on them from now. Some of the points we agreed on with conditions.

From my point of view our meeting was good. All the attendees were in the meeting room on time. They all were well prepared and contributed vigorously. We had covered all the agenda points and in the same order.  Everybody got the chance to participate in the meeting and give his opinion. There was a lot of respect between all members. I think that no one got interrupted while talking and that’s one of the main reasons to be succeeded in a meeting. If I will be asked to do the meeting again for sure I am going to have the same members, because we got along together will and we built a strong respect between us.

Discussion:

The courses are discussed and its sub points which are, the availability and adding and dropping options.

Discussion:

The attendance was then put on the table for discussion, its points included; missed classes and the attendance marking.

 The summer courses involved two sub points which were running courses in the summer, and early graduation.

Conclusion:
