Integrating Analysis and Communication Skills into the Decision Science Curriculum*
提出一种在定量方法课程中通过书面和口头沟通来培养学生分析与批判性思维的教学方法,该方法对教师投入要求低,但学生收益显著。
ABSTRACT The teaching of decision sciences presupposes that careful attention is directed toward improving students' critical thinking and analytical skills. This paper presents an approach to teaching quantitative methods classes that focuses on developing student skills in the areas of analytical and critical thinking through written and oral communication. The approach requires very little additional instructor preparation time and does not require the instructor to make major changes in either the content or organization of the course. While the instructor's investment is minimal, the benefits to the students appear to be substantial.
