Soft Skills for Instructors
Indeed it is important for instructors to be a master at soft skills as well as the hard skills. Does anyone experience that "good listening" is a needed part of soft skills on the parts of instructors and students? How do other instructors manage students who are using cell phones during a teaching lesson? Is respect a part of soft skills?
I believe "listening skills" are one of the most important and one of the most undeveloped skills. If one just stops and listens, really listens so many circumstances would come to a different conclusion. Yes, respect is definitely a part of soft skills, and a very important soft skill to be taught.
