Guilherme Tortorella
The learning objectives for this course include being able to clearly define mathematical reasoning and learn how to apply mathematical reasoning through mathematical examples. You will also be able to understand how mathematical reasoning can be used in management roles.
Simine Vazire
On completion of this module you will be able to explain what makes science trustworthy, identify sources of error and bias in science and emerge being able to assess the credibility of a scientific claim.
Kim Hazendonk
In this module you will be able to raise awareness of the concept of emotional intelligence and understand the role of the brain structures (such as the frontal lobes and limbic system) in developing self-insight and emotional regulation. Learn better self-management by understanding how the brain is organised and developing strategies for working more effectively and efficiently. Boost the production of happy chemicals in the brain. Demonstrate practical approaches to improving emotional intelligence through better relationship management and leading others. Create psychological safety and a positive team climate through enhancing the release of brain chemicals that help build cooperation and trust.
