What is a critical incident?
Usually it is an incident that has significance to you. It is often an event which makes you stop and think, or one that raises questions for you.
It may have made you question an attitude, value or behaviour.
It might include an incident involving conflict, hostility, criticism, motivation and improvement.
Critical incidents may relate to issues of communication, knowledge, culture, relationships, beliefs or emotions.
The critical incidents can be discussed in relation to any of the communication theories taught from weeks 1 to 12.
