Student Work Simulations

It has been proposed that students be assessed with work simulations similar to those used in managerial assessment centers. Assessments are then made on a student's competencies in decision making, leadership, oral communication, planning and organizing, written communication, and self-objectivity. What other methods can be used to assess student competencies in these areas?
Training Modalities
Do you prefer to receive training in face-to-face format, as e-learning, or as mobile learning (e-learning completed using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet), or in some other format? Why?
Types of Interviews
Contrast an unstructured interview with a situational or behavioral interview. Share examples of types of interviews you've had. What interview type are you most comfortable with, and why? What interview type are you least comfortable with, and why? How can you increase your comfort level with that type of interview?
