Social Interaction
"The ability to deal with others is crucial to personal and professional success. A society that accomplishes the bulk of its work in conversation, consultation, discussion and debate, on committees and task forces, must depend heavily upon those members who can be effective in interpersonal situations."
"Effective social interaction, as defined at Alverno, involves three dimensions: analytic frameworks, self-awareness, and willingness to engage."
(2005). Ability-based learning outcomes, p. 35.
