Al Ain Men’s College hosts another successful HDF Men’s Inter-College Quiz Competition

SOM_Dec2009Al Ain Men’s College was the venue for the Annual HD Foundations Men’s Inter-College Quiz Competition held on Tuesday 2nd March 2010. Six HCT mens’ colleges from Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah and Sharjah, competed in the event.

Selected teams from each college accompanied by their supporters, were challenged over seven rounds of intense competition in the following categories.
  • General Knowledge
  • The UAE
  • Geography
  • Vocabulary
  • Spelling
  • Grammar
  • Math
This year’s quiz featured an innovative and sophisticated hi-tech arrangement. It gave students the opportunity to augment their key learnings in the Higher Diploma Foundations courses with an element of competition, problem solving, teamwork and of course fun! It also helped the teams and supporters develop their listening skills.

Despite the inclement weather all teams made it to Al Ain. In a strongly contested competition, Sharjah Men’s College triumphed over Al Ain Men’s College with Abu Dhabi Men’s College taking third position.

Geoff Stout, English faculty Al Ain Women’s College, played the role of quiz master extraordinaire while Brent Mills, Director, Al Ain Colleges and Tim Smith, Associate Director, Al Ain Colleges presented the trophy and medals to the first three teams.

The event concluded with a sumptuous BBQ in the AAMC foyer for all the teams, supporters and faculty from the six colleges.


Zoo Visit for Student Projects

SOM_Dec2009Foundations students visited the Al Ain Wildlife Park & Resort one February 18th as part of their research writing project. After the visit, students have to choose an animal that they will feature in their project looking into details like description, habitat, food and problems or threats. They are encouraged to talk to the zookeepers, interview staff to learn more about their chosen animal and take pictures which they can use in their project and will be part of a photography exhibition displayed in the college.

Although the Al Ain zoo is a common destination for people living in Al Ain, students say it is the first time they are visiting it with a project in mind. Several of them said it gives the zoo trip a whole different perspective while many students admitted that this time, they actually paid more attention to the tour guides and the information written about each animal. For more pictures of the trip, you can click on this intranet link to view them. (Site access is on-campus only).


Foundations Students Hold Team-Building Day

team-building dayWorking as part of a team and understanding the basics of teamwork, trust and learning together were concepts that Foundations students tried to apply in a variety of activities aimed at building effective teams. Students arrived in casual and sports clothes and worked together to get the top prize: being the best team. Having fun while learning to solve problems together, communicate and share responsibilities were some of the skills Foundations students learned on the day. They also learned how to lead a team and how to be a part of a team. Participants enjoyed the challenges and activities and said that it was something many of them experienced for the first time.
