Managing student group assignments as one of the assessment instruments with the need to ensure student soft skills development which were mapped to the course outcomes of a program of study, is one of the major challenges to the teaching and learning process. This is because of the using of cross-curricular approach where students are not trained specifically to those skills, but at the same time the development of the skills is evaluated. For the Islamic education professional courses offered to the UiTM diploma students, there are four soft skills to be developed through the preparation of group assignments namely: teamwork; information management and the lifelong learning skills; communication skills and professional ethics. The aim of this study is to propose an appropriate module that faculty can integrate into the teaching and learning process of the courses, to ensure that every student receives training before their soft skills are evaluated. The module reliability test was conducted by five lecturers on five groups of student from four different Islamic education professional courses. Feedback was obtained through the interviews with the lecturers involved and the review on the assignment meeting minutes submitted by the students. The findings from this study are suggested to be applied as a training module using guided meeting minutes as a mechanism 146 to develop soft skills and its assessment.
