Hi all, I, and two colleagues, have been tasked with developing, introducing, and delivering a new core (aka compulsory) courses for our 1st year, undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Commerce).The 'content' of the course is largely based on Management and Marketing. Aside from the 'content', there are explicit goals around the delivery of soft skills. our starting list of soft skills is rather long (more than we can possibly do). Our partial list includes: Communication skills Writing skills Giving and receiving feedback Presentation skills Project management skills Negotiation skills Managing self Managing others Teamwork IT Management and Technology Critical thinking Problem Solving Creativity Lifelong learning I wonder what people have found that, in their experience, are the three or four soft skills that would have the largest positive impact on students (I'm leaving things rather vague here, so people can interpret the question in a variety of ways).
