Here at the University of Edinburgh Business School we take a break from class in Week 6 to allow the students to participate in the Development Centre.  The Development Centre is an opportunity for the students to find out how they might act and react in a simulated business situation.  Students are observed by trained observers drawn from outwith the Business School and from a range of industry backgrounds and, as the exercises progresses, the observers record how each participant is behaving against a range of soft skills.  General feedback is given in class and confidential, one-to-one feedback takes place later on.  This exercise is an important element in our Career and Personal Development programme, the programme that aims at developing the students’ soft skills such as leadership, communication and creative problem solving.  It is not only the students who take this programme.  Parts of it has been delivered to organisations based locally who praise this programme highly.

But with Week 6 in progress it is also becoming obvious to the new class that they have now passed the halfwaymark of Semester 1 classes, only another three weeks to go.  This of course brings on the stress a bit but it is important not to overdo it and thereby bring on the exhaustion before the assessment.  It is so easy to do just that and that will affect the result.  The good thing is that Week 6 allows the students to catch up on the reading a bit because of the break from classes.
