Within this section of the module, I was intrigued by a number of points, but here I will mention two of them: (1) According to research studies, most people who lose their jobs is because they lack “people skills” in getting along with their colleagues, which is why having students in small and large groups working collaboratively together on a project is essential in building people skills and emotional intelligence; and (2) another way of having students exercise their critical thinking skills is by having them “teach instructors,” for example, by developing a glossary of terms or a resource guide that the instructor can use at a later date. Instructors should have assignments arranged beyond having students memorize facts. Students need to have the element of application in their coursework so that they can have a bigger picture as to how the facts (whatever they have memorized) can be applied to the real world.
