• Case studies incorporating the above. This is significant as it allows you to apply your learning.

• An active and vibrant Q/A where students actually DISCUSS Counselling

Ask yourself a question:

When learning about counselling one can watch videos, read manuals, work through workbooks but the REAL learning is in the DOING. As this is not a live face-to-face course the nearest we can get to application is through Case Studies and discussion points in lectures that are then examined in the Q/A. There are students from 200 countries on my courses - just think how many in-depth discussions there can be in the Q/A if the Instructor encourages this!

That is why there are Case Studies especially written for this course.

This is a course about counselling, communicating, discussing, learning and applying.

Is this more work for the student?

Yes - applying what you have learnt is more work - but it cements what you have learnt in lectures.

Is this more work for the Instructor?

Of course!  Questions posed, solutions, suggestions, discussions - these are all encouraged. I am an teacher/Instructor/lecturer by nature and I know that real learning (which is what teaching is -the art of causing learning) is through interactive discussion. Not quizzes. Not 'copy and paste' questions. Not reading manuals.

But through application.
