When you do teach you the soft skills are very important in the delivery of the subject matter to make sure everyone in class understand what you are trying to get across... I still fall beck on 5 sense: see white board, power point, touch ahve them write or take notes and int advent of smart phone the student are loosing that because they want to take pictures or have us upload the power points on the engrade calender... hear as I speak on certain points or point out what is important.

Plus during the lab time when they are using the computer to do the exercises sometime they do not take notes when something needs to change and I feel I repeat myself 10 times over... I tell the class how they are suppose to be done and on engrade calendar and the white board. Soft skills are important to remind me to breathe and take a step back because they are just learning this for the first time and I have been out in the field for over 30 years and  being doing this for a very long time.
