Adjust your minds…………

In your minds, an ideal dynamic curriculum should:
•Prepare students to work in teams;
•Develop an ability to think critically and
independently;
•Absolutely develop client focused skills; and
•Encourage students to be flexible.
In a similar vein, the representatives specifically
recommended that students learn to write in a number of
genres. These forms included bids, expressions of
interest, formal letters to clients, and both inter-company
and inter-team communications that could effectively
communicate with sales personnel, technical staff and
sub-contractors. Audience awareness was deemed crucial,
specifically in cases where a topic is presented to both
technical and non-technical personnel. They also
suggested a need for reports to be written in an engaging
and enthusiastic style. Further, they added that extensive
experience in the collaborative writing of long documents was a necessary skill.
