These are excellent strategies depending upon the course of study. For example, nursing students have a rigorous undergraduate process to prepare them to meet the demands of the nursing curriculum. This has been accomplishing through English courses that have writing assignments, public speaking which allows the student to practice their speaking, etc.
Nursing is a rigorous program and students are gradually moved toward the ability to analyze data and produce an outcome. There is an additional skill that goes beyond critical thinking which is clinical reasoning skills in acute and long-term settings. With respect to skills acquisition, our skills laboratory is methodological with the procedures of all nursing skills which must be accomplished within a certain time frame.
I would like to see evidence-base strategies on how to accommodate this population. If one is too anxious other support services may be needed beyond that in the classroom.
