http://www.bib.wau.nl/ejae/v1n4-6.html ISSN 1381-2335, Initial difficulties and student dissatisfaction with previous learning opportunities in interpersonal and
transferable skills are described and analyzed. These led to the parallel development of a course with more
innovative content but similar objectives. In particular, the more successful formula places the initiatives in the
hands of student committees, and allows a high degree of learning by practical experience and error. Questions
from student groups before and after the course demonstrate changes in student attitudes and skills which have
been developed. The potential, and limitations, of the course design are discussed in the light of its likely wider
application.
