Problem-solving Skills: Creating New Possibilities

Application


In the last unit, you had the opportunity to share your perspectives about a problem of moderate difficulty. For this exercise, revisit the same problem you and your partner discussed in the communication unit, this time applying the problem-solving approach outlined above. If the problem you discussed in the earlier unit was resolved by simply coming to a better understanding, then select a new problem to discuss and problem-solve. The problem should be of moderate difficulty. If you were to rate your problems from 1 to 10, with 1 being a very small problem and 10 being an extremely difficult problem, you should ideally choose a problem in the 4-6 range for this exercise. As you become more practiced at using the skills, then you can apply the problem-solving approach on more difficult problems.
