About the Course

We all negotiate on a daily basis. On a personal level, we negotiate with friends, family, landlords, car sellers and employers, among others. Negotiation is also the key to business success. No business can survive without profitable contracts. Within a company, negotiation skills can lead to your career advancement. I hope that you will join the hundreds of thousands of learners who have made “Successful Negotiation” one of the most popular and highly-rated MOOCs worldwide. In the course, you’ll learn about and practice the four steps to a successful negotiation: (1) Prepare: Plan Your Negotiation Strategy (2) Negotiate: Use Key Tactics for Success (3) Close: Create a Contract (4) Perform and Evaluate: The End Game To successfully complete this course and improve your ability to negotiate, you’ll need to do the following: (1) Watch the short videos (ranging from 5 to 20 minutes). The videos are interactive and they include questions to test your understanding of negotiation strategy and skills. You can speed up or slow down videos to match your preferred pace for listening. Depending on your schedule, you can watch the videos over a few weeks or you can binge watch them. A learner who binge-watched the course concluded that “It’s as good as Breaking Bad.” Another learner compared the course to “House of Cards.” Both shows contain interesting examples of complex negotiations! (2) Test your negotiation skills by completing the negotiation in Module 6. You can negotiate with a local friend or use Discussions to find a partner from another part of the world. Your negotiation partner will give you feedback on your negotiation skills. To assist you with your negotiations, I have developed several free negotiating planning tools that are related to the course. These tools and a free app are available at http://negotiationplanner.com/ . The course also includes an opportunity to use an interactive experience where you can test your negotiation skills before starting the live negotiation. (3) Take the final exam. To successfully complete the course, you must answer 80% of the questions correctly. The exam is a Mastery Exam, which means that you can take it as many times as you want until you master the material. Course Certificate You have the option of earning a Course Certificate. A Certificate provides formal recognition of your achievements in the course and includes the University of Michigan logo.

Probably the best course videos Ive come across. Professor George I believe is an amazing teacher...the way he gets the concept across to students by simple and constant examples is worth mentioning..

I will definitely say most of the lectures and videos which are shown in this course, were quite interesting. But what I felt lacking was there was no smooth transition between the legal aspects and the other part of negotiations and left quite a few people (supported by other reviews) confused. Also, the quizzes including the final one were designed almost as if it expected you to buy the coursebook, without which it will become quite difficult to pass, they were quite ambiguous.

I have mixed feelings about this course. I notice that a lot of courses like these in US colleges are incredibly glorified. The professor sounds knowledgeable, I have to admit. The material, however, seems mostly like common sense. Most of it is life skills that you simply pick up over time. Just like business courses, people love to label everything concept or process with some kind of nice sounding term to make it look professional or whatever. Also, very boring.

On the Certificate - Name of the participant should be captured. At the end of the day, some of the participants are actively seeking job and not only skills learnt can be applied in their daily and workplace practice but also help them to attain job. Hope this comment make sense. Thank you.

The length of the videos are too long . The content was so interesting . The practice quiz was not too challenging and final exam was too ambiguous . During the session the examples could be added .

Repetitive and stating the obvious from all sorts of angles. But this may be usual for business classes.

When I wanted to complete the Pat and Tracy negotiation about The House on Elm Street I found sexually abusive images in the discussion form.

I am afraid of sharing my personal email ID/credentials in open forum there.

I wan to withdraw from the course as this is not safe here and want my complete money back.
