The Pieces to the Puxxle

This week during lecture, the puxxle activity allowed each group to let loose. I believe this exercise was fairly productive. At some times it started to move out of the necessity of making the class better and into a joke session. Though I do believe that a laughter and a laid back atmosphere allows for creativity. This was a positive exercise that allowed each member of the class to voice an opinion. Rarely do you see classes that encompass this within their class structure. I also liked the fact that feedback was asking during the semester rather than at the absolute end. I never did see a point in asking someone’s views at the end in a survey, this is more of a teacher bashing rather than anything productive. The puxxle exercise brought that classroom together for the period and allowed everyone to input and design constructive criticism in order to better the class. This is a feature that is seen many corporations. Google is a company that uses this as a cornerstone for their organization. Google allows their employees input their suggestions to better their company on a daily basis. In order to get the most productivity out of any individual, their ideas most be heard. Rather than just a team building exercise, I believe this was a classroom building exercise, which is rarely seen here on campus.
