CPE312 - Software Design and Engineering

Class Discussion + Group Activity

August 22, 2024

WEEK 2

ִֶָ𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ🐇་༘࿐

I woke up early because we had our online class and reporting with Ma'am Desai in the subject of Data and Digital Communication. Our report was about Online Connections. So it's all about the relationships formed and maintained through the internet, allowing people to communicate and interact regardless of physical distance.

So, fast forward. After our class, I immediately took a bath because I knew it would take time to finish, and I didn't want to be late for our face-to-face class, which was SDE. But the real reason I almost arrived late was that no buses were passing through our terminal, so I decided to take a mini bus. I arrived at school at exactly 12:11pm. I ran towards the elevator and saw a classmate, which was a bit of a relief, knowing I wasn't the only one running late.

As our class started, our instructor discussed the Week 1 module, which covers what it means to be a software engineer and the tools we should use when implementing software. I felt nervous thinking about how stressful this subject might be since it demands a lot of time, and I struggle with time management. That’s why I need to start practicing it.

As Sir Carl finished his discussion, he gave us a group activity involving a different case study where we analyze real-world scenarios to help improve our critical thinking skills, teamwork, and collaboration. We were given a short amount of time to create the report and analyze the problem, knowing our instructor would randomly pick a student from each group to present. Despite the rush, I really enjoyed the activity. I appreciated the group's teamwork and the process of analyzing, even if my ideas were somewhat off-topic. The experience I had today made me realize the importance of time management and teamwork, both of which are important as I continue my studies.

Group Activities for Office Staff: Building Stronger Teams Through Fun

Creating a positive and productive office environment goes beyond just assigning tasks and meeting deadlines. For teams to thrive, they need to build strong interpersonal connections, foster trust, and develop effective communication. Group activities for office staff are a fantastic way to achieve these goals while offering employees a much-needed break from their usual routines. how well-planned group activities can improve team dynamics and offer practical ideas to help you strengthen collaboration, creativity, and morale within your office.

Why Group Activities Matter in the Workplace

You may be wondering, why do group activities matter in an office setting? Here are a few key reasons:

1. Strengthening Team Communication

Effective communication is a cornerstone of any successful team. Group activities encourage open dialogue, allowing employees to express ideas, ask questions, and listen actively. These activities often push employees to collaborate in new ways, which translates into stronger communication on work-related tasks.

2. Building Trust and Camaraderie

Working together outside of the usual office context helps team members bond on a personal level. Whether through problem-solving or simply having fun together, group activities foster mutual respect and trust. Strong relationships among team members make it easier to work together in high-pressure situations.

3. Encouraging Creativity and Innovation

Many group activities encourage creative thinking, helping employees develop new solutions to problems. Whether it’s brainstorming during a team challenge or collaborating on a fun project, employees are often more willing to share bold ideas when they feel comfortable and engaged.

4. Boosting Morale and Reducing Stress

Office work can be stressful, especially when juggling multiple projects. Group activities provide a much-needed escape, allowing employees to unwind, laugh, and enjoy themselves. Taking time out for fun activities boosts morale and helps employees return to work with renewed energy and focus.

Top Group Activities for Office Staff

Here are a few creative and engaging group activities for office staff that will help build stronger teams:

1. Office Trivia

Office trivia is a fantastic way to combine fun with learning. You can organize a trivia game focused on company history, pop culture, or general knowledge. Teams compete to answer questions, and the group with the most correct answers wins.

This activity fosters teamwork, strategic thinking, and friendly competition. It’s also a great icebreaker, helping new employees get to know more about the company and their colleagues.

2. Team Building Workshops

Team-building workshops, such as problem-solving or communication workshops, provide employees with tools to work better together. These workshops often include activities designed to highlight strengths, identify weaknesses, and improve the dynamics of the group.

Some workshops even simulate real-world work challenges, like a project or task that employees need to solve as a team. These structured activities help teams practice critical thinking, decision-making, and communication, making them more efficient in the office.

3. Escape Room Challenges

Escape rooms are popular group activities that encourage teamwork and critical thinking. Employees are tasked with solving puzzles and riddles in a set time limit to “escape” from a themed room. This activity builds problem-solving skills and encourages collaboration under pressure.

Working together to solve challenges in an escape room can help employees build trust and strengthen their ability to communicate effectively.

4. Volunteer as a Team

Volunteering as a team can strengthen bonds while giving back to the community. Group volunteer activities such as serving meals at a shelter, cleaning up a park, or organizing charity events allow employees to work toward a common cause, fostering unity and shared purpose.

This type of activity promotes teamwork while making a positive impact on society, which can also enhance the company’s corporate social responsibility efforts.

5. Office Scavenger Hunt

An office scavenger hunt is a fun and active group activity where teams race to find specific items or solve clues hidden around the office or building. It’s a great way to get employees out of their desks and engaged in a light-hearted competition.

This activity encourages teamwork, boosts morale, and is an excellent way to break up the workday with some fun physical activity.

6. Cooking or Baking Challenge

A cooking or baking competition is a creative way to build teamwork. Employees can work in teams to prepare a meal or dessert, with the best dish winning a prize. This type of group activity promotes communication, organization, and creativity.

If your office has a communal kitchen, consider setting up a bake-off or “Iron Chef” style challenge for employees to show off their culinary skills while bonding over shared activities.

7. Workshops or Classes (Yoga, Art, Painting, etc.)

Workshops or classes give employees an opportunity to learn something new together. Consider offering classes like painting, pottery, or yoga. These creative or relaxing activities encourage employees to step outside of their comfort zones and explore different ways of expressing themselves.

Classes also give employees the chance to unwind and recharge while developing new skills.

Final Thoughts

Group activities for office staff are more than just a fun way to spend time outside of work—they’re a powerful tool for building stronger teams. By fostering communication, creativity, trust, and camaraderie, group activities can significantly improve team dynamics and overall productivity. Incorporating regular team-building activities into your office schedule helps employees feel more connected to one another and to the company as a whole. Whether you choose a competitive trivia game, a hands-on cooking challenge, or a volunteer event, you’ll be creating an environment where collaboration thrives and employees enjoy coming to work.

Here are some activities for seven women to do together

[strayheartless]

Okay, I’m just sounding ideas here and don’t come at me from behind with a baseball bat or anything…

But do we maybe think that Angeal made the situation in the training room worse? Now I’m not saying Angeal’s to blame and I wanna caveat this entire ramble with the admission that I’m not even sure about this take. However, I was thinking about the actual situation like I was breaking down frames of a film (👋🏻 yoohoo! Film degree!) and when you look at it this:

(Credit for clip: Shirrako on YouTube)

It’s Angeal’s sword that breaks. Now, again, not blaming Angeal, Genesis was being Genesis and the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t challenged sephiroth. But there is a line of thinking that suggests that it is Angeal’s lack of trust in his friends that exacerbates the situation.

Fanon aside, there is nothing actually in text that suggests that Genesis and Sephiroth have ever actually taken it too far. Actually apart from that one e-mail from Kunsel:

"It seems every SOLDIER 1st Class has a quirkor three, but I think Angeal has a lot ofcommon sense and is a trustworthy fellow.Let's face it: Genesis never found groupactivities appealing, so Angeal is, in fact,the spiritual leader of SOLDIER.I've got a lot of respect for him, too.And I envy you for getting to work with himso often."

(Source: Fandom Wiki, Final Fantasy Wiki: Mail (crisis Core))

there is nothing at all about Genesis' personality before the accident and degredation at all. We can make general guesses based on what we see of Genesis before that innitial wound, but over all, we do not know. So, why does Angeal stop them?

The obvious answer to this is because Genesis and Sephiroth are literally destroying the training room, he even says "You'll destroy this place," but they've done this before according to Sephiroth and theres no point at shich either of them actually manage to hurt the other. Even when Genesis encases Seph in a ball of fire, he doesn't hurt him, and their swords never aim for flesh.

it would be very easy for Sephiroth to exploit Genesis' weakness' and aim for his vulnrablites.

(credit for clip: Shirrako on YouTube)

As we can see in the above frame, Genesis leaves his left side virtually unguarded. His body is turned to favor his right side, he is quite clearly teligraphing a weakness that Sephiroth does not exploit once. Why? perhaps its hubris, perhaps its trust; who is to say, but what is clear is that, despite the destruction, neither are going to hurt each other.

The problem arises, then, when Genesis allows himself to grow overconfident. He legitimately blasts Angeal out of the fight and goes to defeat Sephiroth himself. Angeal is perhaps alerted to the fact that Genesis has lost some sort of control, but concidering there is not a scratch on either of them, he possibly didn't need to.

What I like about this line of thought is that it works hand in hand with the actual story itself. at the crux of everything it is not just Genesis and Sephiroth to blame for how events unfold, Angeals actions have a greater impact on everything.

When Angeal chooses to get in between the two he is the deciding blow that hurts Genesis, yet it is Sephiroth who is blamed for Genesis' sickness.

When Genesis storms the Shinra building it is Angeal who has left Sephiroth in the dark without answers; yet it is Sephiroth and Zack who have to pick up the pieces after it ends.

in Banora it is Angeals inaction that places Zack in danger and ends with the distruction of his home.

and the most obvious, Angeals death is not just defining for Zack but for Sephiroth too. While it is not talked about in text, Angeals death leaves Sephiroth vulnrable to Genesis' ire, and his own relationship to honour and monstrosity that affects Sephiroth's perseption of himself.

Angeal's decision to not allow Genesis and Sephiroth to come to their natural conclusion creates a consistant feeling of unfinished business. The ultimate question here is, would either Genesis or Sephiroth truly hurt each other. Had Angeal not intervened with his flimsy Shinra issue Claymore (possibly representative of his own morality and honour) Would Genesis have been wounded and would he have felt robbed of the title of hero?

This is all just conjecture and shaky soundboarding. If you have any opinions please feel free to share!

As always be kind and please don't yell or be mean (I am only a little critter I will cry!)

¡Hola!

Tras investigar un poco con la skin de Violent, no hemos encontrado en donde se situa el code de filtro de los subforos... Nos estamos volviendo locas

¡Gracias y perdón por tan poco!

¡Hola anon! No sé exactamente a qué te refieres, así que... dejo un par de opciones (?)

Los filtros incluidos con Violent Ends todos se añaden con clases. La clase base, para todas, es .gradientact, que establece un div (o span, o whatever) como portador del filtro. Por defecto, .gradientact recibe la variable --gm-color1 como color de efecto, con una variable secundaria, --gm-color2, que sirve para desaturar la imagen. Tienes los dos mix-blend-mode en --gm-effect1 y --gm-effect2, viniendo en multiply (para el dark) y en screen (para light) por defecto. Tienes también la opción de añadir un filtro a las imágenes por debajo de los blend-modes usando --gm-filter. Además de .gradientact, puedes combinar este filtro con otras variantes: .groupact, para posts, que cogen el color de grupo como acento; .accentact, que cogen el color de acento del foro (--acent2 concretamente). .groupact y .accentact deben ir precedidas de .gradientact siempre o no funcionarán.

Los filtros de los subforos funcionan con el .gradientact, pero no tienes que añadirlos manualmente, vienen aplicados en el template. Pero puedes configurarlos aparte con las variables --frow (equivalente a --gm-color1), --frow-filter (equivalente a --gm-filter). El guidebook también tiene sus variables (--guidebook y --guidebook-filter).

Si no es una de estas dos opciones... Avisadme (?)
