Something I have learned from organizing the workshop

i.         Controlling is very important in organizing the activities and it has to be continuous. Controlling can ensure the result of the job to see whether it can be fitted to the planning expectation. If controlling is continuous and excellent, we can make sure the plan is processed effective. and if the controlling job do not continuous, it may lead a big mistake and the effort will be discounted. For example, in this workshop, I forget to prepare the music which cause the workshop opening delaying 5mins and it contribute to the time controlling problem later in the workshop. So in my opinion, as the organizer, we also need somebody else to conduct the controlling job on us. Next example, we all do not remember to bring the material to the workshop in advance. The testing of computer, the delaying of bringing the materials also contributes to the time problem in the workshop. In order to overcome the problem, we should do the controlling job no matter what time or which process on each member.

ii.          Suggestion is good for organizing the activities although the suggestion may not be accepted.  We put forward many useful and useless suggestions in the meetings. For the time we should hold the workshop or what kind of paper we should buy all come from the suggestions of the members. Suggestions make things perfect. For example, the name of the game we have in the workshop people do what people do contains what we have learn in our class and it’s easy for participate to know how to play the game and what’s the meaning of the game. Getting more suggestions it also can be applied to our life when we meet problems. We can learn from other people’s past experience or creative ideas and decide how to solve the problem base on our critical thinking. 

iii.          Be positive. This is the biggest harvest I gain from workshop. The workshop is in our midterm exam period so it’s no doubt that all of us are busy. But all of us are willing to take the job seriously. We can feel the positive energy on each member. Positive people have more strength and better determination to do a good job. We are busy but we still attending meetings and laughing when we discussed. We are trying and never give up when we met problems. And we are willing to give a hand to those who cannot finish the job with solid reason. Keeping your mind positively, this is the most impressive experience in the workshop.

iv.          Communication is important especially when cooperation is needed. Some of our members do not check mail and we do not know they have no idea of the process of our workshop. Thus, some of us are over allocated the workload and some of us under. Above all, Communication is good for cooperating. We should motivate to get the first hand information of the workshop and members.
