THINKING AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Credit:
3
Course Pre-requisite(s):
None
Medium of Instruction:
English
Learning Outcomes
1. Repeat on certain topics. (C1)
2. Review resources of information. (C2)
3. Apply the skills to communicate effectively in
different environments and constraints. (C3)
4. Provide plan for business opportunities. (C3)
5. Manage team members in group activities. (C3)
Synopsis of Course Content
This course is based on the conviction that thinking
is an ability that can be developed and improved
through guidance and practice. It is designed to
help develop fundamental thinking abilities such as
clarifying, analysing and evaluating arguments; and
developing attitudes of open-mindedness and
curiosity. These are needed for success in
academic courses, in solving problems and making
informed decisions in life. The course integrates the
development of both critical (evaluation) and
creative (synthesis) thinking abilities within
communication situations such as emphasizing
empathy speaker and the audience, interpersonal
communication, the use of language and nonverbal
messages. This learning environment will develop
