Anyway the meeting held last Thursday is quite a successful one due to a very competent leader that we had. Despite the fact that the meeting was held early in the morning and it took us quite a bit of time to finally settle down, the meeting went smoothly overall and we managed to follow our agenda. Well, again thanks to Ish, our group leader, who had done a similar project before and was able to clarify our technical doubts.
I think it’s very important to have a competent leader in a team to get things going. Especially when it comes to technical projects, a leader with relevant knowledge can help the whole team save time and avoid any unnecessary detours that the team may take, thus boosting team performance.
Nevertheless, team members should also make active efforts to contribute to the project. In the case of a meeting, team members should at least read the agenda and do relevant research beforehand so as not to ask 'unprofessional' questions, so to speak. I think our team can improve on this part to make our meeting even more efficient. =]
Lastly, I personally feel that the whole videoing idea is really making people feel awkward. We could have been more effective if we did not have to sit in front of a camera with a narrow scope as we would then be more comfortable with each other and feel freer to voice any doubts/concerns. Writing down minutes might be a better idea, though i understand that the whole idea of videoing is to make sure that the meeting was properly conducted o_O (298words)
As RAs, one of the routines that we conduct every semester is the room verification, during which we will be going to each room to verify the biodata with the resident in that room. This act is to collate the information of all PGPR residents in case of emergency.
One serious infringement of house rule that we often encounter is that of 'illegal residents', i.e. 2 people living in the same room although only one of them is the registered resident in that room. (p.s. most of the rooms in PGPR are single-rooms) Such behavior is strictly prohibited as PGPR wants to promote a more conducive for residents to study and to rest.
One week before we conducted room verification, I received a call from one of my cluster leaders telling me that there were two girls living in the same room on her level. I managed to call the legal resident of that room, she sounded very defensive, insisting on that she had nothing to do with the girl whom she currently lived with. However, after I explained that I was just calling to offer help, she calmed down a bit and told me that her friend had already found another place to stay and would be leaving in 2 days.
One week later, when we conducted the room verification we found out that the illegal resident was still in the room. She spoke Chinese with our Resident Advisor (who was also a lecturer from NUS) loudly in an annoyed tone despite the fact that our Resident Advisor did not understand Chinese well. They had problem communicating and the conversation evolved into a quarrel afterwards.
After 10 minutes, the Resident Advisor came to me (as I was doing checking other rooms when they were quarreling) and passed me the biodata of that illegal resident. She demanded me to take immediate action.
What shall I do with the illegal and the legal resident of that room? o_O
