Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Nowadays, employers highly value soft skills, yet many students lack these fundamental abilities. Teaching soft skills involves fostering active student participation and facilitating communication of technical knowledge among peers. This approach presents challenges: (i) creating an engaging learning environment; (ii) ensuring students get timely feedback; (iii) finding an approach that is not too time-consuming for instructors to prepare.
