Cooperation Course
Initiatives and Problem Solving
Students employ group decision making, communication, and cooperation skills in order to complete mental and physical challenges. This course is designed to be student centered - the instructor gives only guidance and feedback, no solutions! During a Cooperation Course, students often change their assumptions and definitions of leadership, communication, and problem solving.
