| Sumario: | Generic skills are skills that are common to all graduates rather than specific for a particular field of study. They include communication and problem-solving skills and the ability to work successfully in teams.

This paper describes three simple exercises designed to develop generic skills that can easily be incorporated into existing courses. |
