1. Impact of the activities on the development of the students’ Graduate Attributes

I totally believe that the exposure I’ve got from Virtual Culture Corner has developed my interpersonal skills and enhanced my graduate attributes as a whole. Leading a team to prepare for an event in which a short time span requires efficient planning of tasks and resources to be able to complete or achieve them on time. Besides, this experience also got me to about different cultures and traditions to prepare the quiz questions. This learning experience enables me to enhance my knowledge about different cultures & also the differences in the traditional practices. Besides, I have learned about the importance of having good communication skills to be able to work effectively with different kinds of people as well as being able to think to problem-solve when challenges arise.

2. Self strength/advantage towards the activities

As a member of UTM International Global Buddies, I’ve also shown a keen interest to explore other cultures & traditions, thus I didn’t show hesitation when I got the opportunity to have interactions with international students from different countries. My curiosity & interest to continuously learn has greatly motivated me to tackle any kind of challenge, ultimately giving the lots of learning opportunities along the time. Besides, my wish to network with people from different countries also a key advantage I’ve got inside of me to meet new people and network with them eventually during the programme preparation and execution.

3. Challenges and how to overcome them

The major challenge during the programme was selecting the right online quiz platform to conduct the event since most of the quiz platforms require paid services to cater a large crowd of participants. But this experience has greatly boosted my agility on how I could solve conflicts and be able to clearly communicate my thoughts to them to be able to find a solution at the soonest.
