Experience during the day and the subsequent learning: The fully packed day with loads of
information today gave With informative sessions in the morning to a semi-formal class introduction
session, the day seemed long and tiring, but informal sessions of cake-cutting in the corridor and people
showcasing their talent in their introduction, cheered us all up. Discussion on the diversity of the batch
gave us an insight into the potential that lies ahead in terms of peer-to-peer learning. Current introspection
allows me to see though a lot of observations and learnings from the day. The sessions in the first half of
the day were well structured and had kept buffer for any session exceeding the intended time limit. Ethos
of people who have already experienced the life, like the one utmost importance e.g. academic integrity to
reemphasis even though the consequences for the same are mentioned in the handbook. Sessions
discussing the audience centric content, like the one on scholarships, attracted greater number of ears. The
informal conduct of the evening self-introduction session allowed to break ice amongst the classmates in a
quicker fashion.
Applicability in Team Work: Diversity in a team is very necessary for different opinions and
perspectives; I realised the potential from the peer-to-peer learning when the profile of the batch was
discussed in detail. As a team, it is always inspiring to interact with the people who have had similar
experiences, it brings about a greater sense of trust. In the evening, semi-formal interaction in class and
informal interaction otherwise helped for better bonding amongst the classmates. Informal interactions
helped a team, a class in this case, to know each other better in no time. However, maintaining a semi-
formal attitude in an official setting like classroom gives everyone an opportunity to speak-up.
Intersectional competition helped our section to come forward as a team, showing that healthy competition
acts in a positive way for the team.
