This course helped me to think more thoroughly about the elements of successful negotiation. I intend to incorporate ideas from this course into my practice of negotiation on the job going forward.

Videos were long winded, speaking style if hard to follow, too dry, sounds like no actual thought behind the words, just reading a teleprompter. Quizzes were poorly worded, many questions had multiple answers that could legitimately be considered correct in various scenarios.

I did not like the course . It was too generic and too talkative. I beg pardon for my frankness but the other course in negotiation available in Coursera is more structured and effective in my opinion.

I like that the course covered negotiation in general in relatively short time. However I found the lectures were too dry and theoretical as they lacked real life examples.

The videos are quite useful but if you provide more reading resources it will become more useful in understanding the concepts

The answers to the test questions can be improved significantly. Most of them can be both justified or refuted.

The Course - I found it very basic and superficial.

The Test - Confusing and unclear

could have been more interactive and real-life examples should be included in it.

Not worth the cost and time. Poorly constructed, rambling instructor, lectures did not relate to the quizzes, lecture slides contained limited info, a very difficult course for visual learnings as there were few, if any, visuals. **8 hour wait between quiz attempts! And no in lecture practice/tests of knowledge nor prompts to aid learning along the way. **No discussion forums, so you cannot discuss and ask for help from other students.

Am not enjoying it at all: 1. Lacking important details in writing (even in school, important details are always noted by writing), so if you're a visual learner, you will not enjoy it as well.

2. 9 questions in the review instead of usual 10 (probably to have you fail easier)

3. 1 test attempt in 8 hours

4. Amateur quality in presentation

It's frustrating and feels like a waste of time. Not continuing.

This course offered nothing significant or new to anyone who has spent any time around business or government negotiations. It really seems as though the instructor either assumes all of her students are completely inept or that because it is a free course that producing a reasonably viable product is not necessary.

the curriculum was not thoroughly explained. I felt as if some points were so unclear. the assessment is another issue. 75% of the questions were irrelevant, and therefor invalid. thank you

I found this course is very much theoritical. I should have included mathatical models and ways to relate them with our day to day life.

Thanks
