Instructions

Section 3: What should be included in the activities and reflections sectionDuring the semester there are a number of activities and tasks that you will be asked to do, each of them provides an opportunity to reflect on concepts within the course, be it personality or learning. Usually we do lots of these, but this semester there were only three. In addition, while the execution of these is more complicated, it remains possible to capture the spirit of the activity without following the specific instructions. The first involved guessing other peoples personality. Many of you mentioned the challenge of doing this virtually but knowing what you know now about personality reflect on the activity and/or guess that of friend/roommate family member and assess your accuracy. The second was related to the module on Creativity and Innovation, where I asked you do something you do not do enough. Please provide a short description on your attempt to create balance. As I wrote on Brightspace: So a key component of creativity and innovation is often rest and stepping away in an attempt to see things differently. For this week your task is to do something different and try to regain some balance. I have an included an article with some suggestions, some of which are more fun than others. I do hope that if getting outside is something you don't do often enough, that you take some time to get outdoors. I also know that while I am asking this, there are a number of others things being asked of you (some by me even), but do try to take sometime to create some distance and balance. I have also included an article on the importance of laughter so I hope you can make someone laugh this week. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/sep/24/the-golden-hour-15-ways-to-change-your-life-in-a-workfrom-home-lunch-breakhttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/oct/11/you-have-got-to-laugh-why-a-sense-of-humour-helps-indark-times?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Email The third relates to a request within the final module you are asked to write out instructions for a skill. After doing so I would like to share those activities with members of your group. Everyone will try and complete the skills that group members have described by following the instructions. You will be asked to include your instructions and a reflection on at least one of your attempts to follow the instructions. Obviously do not do anything dangerous and I understand that there may be equipment and space limitations but do your best. If it is not convenient to work with group members you can use people within your bubble. This will not work as well as in a classroom where we have someone who has never played hockey try to learn how to shoot a hockey puck by following the written instructions from a hockey player, but it does have some potential (even if it is only minimal) to be a little fun. Within this section you can also outline what concept (or concepts if you cant help yourself ) resonated with you most. Finally, this section allows you to be creative and personal with your thoughts towards the course. Are there things that you now connect with OB. Basically, to quote a former student, I see OB everywhere.
