This is significant as it allows you to apply your learning.An active and vibrant Q/A where students actually DISCUSS CounsellingAsk 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.Extended study on key counselling skills:Active ListeningCognitive RestructuringMotivational InterviewingSolution-Focused Brief TherapyCognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)EMDR
