CREATIVITY : part 2

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

We meet again this week with the continuation of the previous entry about CREATIVITY. Today's class was about the creativity methods. There are a few creativity methods which are evolution, synthesis, revolution, reapplication, and changing direction. The evolution method is about making an incremental improvement on something so that every problem that has been solved can be solved again in a better way. For an example, the history of automobile.

A brief history of automobile =)

The next method is synthesis in which two or more existing ideas are combined into a third, new idea. For example;

The other methods of creativity are revolution in which a new idea is sometimes completely different from the existing idea but it still can solve the same problem. In revolution, a remarkable change can be observed. Next, the method of reapplication is to look at something old in a new way so that a new and improved product can be produced while the changing direction method is to change our way of thinking and start looking at a new angle in a way that a new solution can be obtained. 

The example of revolution ^^

When we learnt about the methods in creativity, we also need to know the attributes of creativity;

The next thing we do in class was playing a game of tic tac toe. This game was conducted by Sin Nie's group. It is a competition between two groups. The game was very hectic as we tend to shout like, a lot. Really, a lot of shouting until I can't even hear my own voice. The game really taught us to show a good teamwork in order to win. Furthermore, the game taught us to follow the rules provided so that the game can be played smoothly. Here, are some pictures from the game; 

In summary. the creativity methods involved;

Well, I think that's all for today and till we meet again. Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

CREATIVITY : part 1

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. 

We meet again today with a new topic which is CREATIVITY.

What is creativity? In my own opinion, creativity is the ability to create new things. But, actually, creativity can be defined as something else according to their opinion so there is no definite definition for creativity. Here are a few opinions on creativity according to various person;

Creativity often used to solve problems, to create a product and object and for survival. It is established by the imagination and intellectual processes. Creativity also usually viewed under different perspective like supernatural, rational and development. In the supernatural perspective, creative people are believed born with it and the creativity are not being made through training while in the rational perspective, creativity are the results of the application of universal principles. Last but not least, in the development perspective, creativity is developed as an individual grows to maturity in which the transformation happens from one level of growth to the next stages of adulthood.

During the class, the first group had conducted their game which is 'SAVE THE SPONGEBOBS'. This game was played by all of us. The game requires us to be separated with 3 characters; Plankton, Spongebob and Patrick. All the planktons are the villains in the game while Spongebobs are the one who need to identify who is the plankton hiding in the society. Besides, Patricks are the one who are going to interfere in the game. It was a nerve-wrecking game actually cause we need to find the plankton without killing the spongebob. This game taught me that we need to believe in our guts in order to stay alive in the society.

During the game is carried out =)

Here is a little sneak peek from the game =D

I think that's all for today and till we meet again. Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

BACK TO CLASS..

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

The class is off today but Dr had given us an online forum to do during the class time. The title about the forum is about the unemployment of the graduates. We have to take part in this forum so we are discussing this issue online through the e-learning. There are so many opinions regarding this matter but personally I think that in order for a fresh graduates to be employed within 6 months after the graduation, they need to have a very good resume to impress the employer. How? They need to know how to 'sell' themselves so that the employers will be convinced enough to employ them. They also need to have good communication skills besides that if they know a third language like mandarin, it will be a huge advantage for them. Nowadays, even a high CGPA can guarantee us that there will be job waiting for us ahead. So, let us gather up some strength to overcome this issue in future! So that's all for today, assalamualaikum w.b.t.
