  • Abstract
    This work can serve as a resource for instructors interested in a course module for teaching teamwork skills using the Soloman-Felder Index of Learning Styles (ILS). After presenting a rationale for the module, I suggest in-class activities and homework assignments from which instructors can construct their own module of up to three one-hour segments. This resource is adapted from a module I created for the Vanderbilt Engineering School ES 130 freshman introductory course, and has been endorsed by Prof. Richard Felder. At his suggestion, I have included a problem-solving exercise with the thinking/feeling dimension of the Myers-Briggs personality theory, a dimension affecting interpersonal conflicts.
