Role: Head of Activity Unit
As the head of activity unit, I am responsible for handling Programming Battle. I need to prepare all the programming questions to be tackled by the participants. Furthermore, I filter the answers submitted and pass them to high committee members for deciding the winners. Also, I host the activity.
Self-Reflection
At the beginning, I am quite anxious for being responsible to prepare all the programming questions due to my low confidence in my programming skills. Then, I communicate my concern with one of the high committee members of CompFair. In turn, she encourages me just to try my best and there will be other members to work with me as well. Hence, I need not to worry so much. Communication skills play an essential role here as I speak up about my worries instead of staying quiet and worrying alone. The effective communication between other committee members and I is really helpful for preparing the questions. We discuss. We agree and disagree. Apart from that, adaptability is also being improved here as I have to work for the preparation of questions and at the same time dealing with the academic assignments and projects. I manage to work under pressure in order to realize both of my responsibilities as a student and the head of activity unit of CompFair. The key to that is a proper time management so that ample time is allocated for each activity.
As I have joined to be a part of the committee member for this CompFair, I am determined to accomplish the tasks given, which in turn this is my strength throughout the program. I don't give up even though I am having a low confidence towards my programming skill. By doing so, I am capable of overcoming my weakness. To sum up, I am really grateful to have participated into this activity.
