Reflection on Yousef’s presentation

Date: Wednesday 23thMay 2012

Room: W007

Time: 10:10

Topic: Diabetes



Introduction:

 Yousef began his presentation by giving us the medical definition of diabetes and he showed us a device that measures diabetes from blood.

He then mentioned the causes and the consequences of diabetes that happen after a long time.

The solution was nice; he covered all of it in a nice way and the best solution is regular checkups.

Both body language and eye contact were good.

Everybody was active with him because they were afraid.



New things which I learnt:

Diet is eating everything but in a proper way.

To avoid that problem is to exercise for 60 minutes daily.

ICLDC (Imperial College London Diabetes Centre) is in Abu Dhabi.

My Own Reflection for traffic and parking issues at the college.

After we discussed the agenda for traffic and parking issues at the college my opinion as a chairman and the rest of our team are, starting with the parking issue, to organize the student schedule, make the parking wider, have a new building for cars and Mawaqif parking. Secondly with the security staff the first solution is giving them training, permission to give tickets or we should bring new professional staff. The last agenda is student carelessness and the solution is to make same strong rules and give them a traffic awareness campaign.
After a long discussion, the best solution, we decided, was to have a new campus.

Meeting Activity

Meeting Activity Record


Date of meeting: 12th March 2012
Time of meeting: 10:40
Venue: W007
Group members:
Chair: old Ahmed
Participant: new Ahmed
Minute taker: Ali Ahmed

Agenda:-
Ø  Traffic.
Ø  Parking.
Ø  Accidents.
Ø  Security staff.
Ø  Student carelessness and recklessness.


The chairman old Ahmed opened the meeting at 10:40
v  Traffic
Ahmed says there is no parking in the college, and the parking entrance is small. He says also the college should prepare the schedules to take half of the students in the morning and another half in the afternoon.  Old Ahmed says that it’s not fair to study evenings. Old Ahmed says that many cars are scraped because of the small parking space so there is no way to move.

v  Parking
Old Ahmed says many people face the same problem (no parking). New Ahmed says the parking spaces are very small. Some people have a big car so it’s a problem in the parking. Ali says the ADMC have to build 5 or 6 floor parking. New Ahmed says they can’t because there is no time to do it and while they will do it where will the students park. Ali says so they have to build a new building for the college.

v  Accidents
The cars get scratched because of the small parking space or the big cars.

v  Security staff
Old Ahmed says that the security staffs are stupid. They can’t do anything. They can’t solve problems and organize the cars. We should give them permission to give tickets and give them training programs.

v  Student carelessness
Sometimes they did something wrong. We should get the police to control them.

In conclusion we thought that the college should:
1.       Organize the parking or build new parking or a new college building.
2.       Get the Mawaqif system in the college.
3.       Get the police in the college.
4.       Build a new University City.
5.       Build a new college with rooms for the teachers and for the foreign students.
