Interpersonal relationships are central to human communication and endeavour. The ability to work well in a team is an essential skill for professional life today. This module is designed to enhance the student’s interpersonal and teamwork skills for personal and professional life. Topics include: values such as trust and respect, self-awareness, interpersonal communication and listening, team dynamics and challenges such as conflict and bullying.
Cooperative learning, which is designed to help the student to work at his/her best, whilst also helping others to work at their best, is implemented in this module. Students will work with their team members during lectures and on a short project outside of lectures. Teams may be expected to write up to 500 words together during class. The interactive dynamic of team work makes attendance essential.
