In these half-day workshops, theory is introduced in short bursts, and participants spend the majority of time practicing their presentation skills and receiving onsite feedback. The focus on extensive practice and feedback is what makes the program meaningful, and is what makes the learning stick.The exercises in class were just amazing. The comments and suggestions after each exercise made learning very effective. Students learn how to accept criticism. Also, they got to learn a lot by watching the communication skills displayed by ma'am in class.The slides were very precise unlike tons of slides displayed in other lectures. It is more of an interactive session than mere lecture. The videos played in class were very appropriately selected. They were not just any arbit videos.They were very purposeful. These sessions will really help students to improve their personality a great deal. We thank Shyama ma'am for being such a great mentor.
Good communication skills serve as an aid to expressing our thoughts in an effective manner. Ofcourse, it is not the thing that can be mastered in one day but these session held over a period of month will definitely count as a positive step. All students enjoyed attending these soft skill taining workshops that have been arranged as part of NSS. We see this as a fantastic extension of their academic program that we are able to offer to students, so sincerely hope that students walk away with some valuable new skills. This program of soft skills workshops have been rarely in any curriculum of any engineering college in India.
Shyama ma'am, being highly experienced know exactly how the session has to be started. She starts off with introductions - people giving their own intros - helping them break the ice.
Sessions Held till date:
Sept. 18,25 and Oct. 2,9, 16, 23 and Nov 13, from (9:30am - 1 pm)
