it was a good course to learn and practice some basics of negotiations, obviously this is something that you must practice in your work and your life but the course is good to give good bases, specially tha last module. Sometimes it can be boring because the video should use other materials and tools mroe than a ppt.

Very useful information, loved all the videos and the content. Quizzes seemed very hard to pass because the notes were only covering the format of the videos and not the important key phrases of the instructor in every module. More detailed notes are much needed. It was a bit tiring due to this factor.

I really appreciate the contents of course and all the advices provided, but the quizzes a bit misleading. Nevertheless a very good course, I only suggest more examples during lectures, helping enter in a practice view regarding job and everyday problem.

Very detailed Course touching many points of negotiations. After the course you'll know hot to prepare and how to "control" a negotiation. However I would like to see more examples which can create more solid background for the theoretic knowledge.

It was good but not up to mark, only theory portion not case study that's why finding difficulty to understand.Tests were quite difficult and you'll only have only one chance in every 8 hrs, this is not appealing at all.

Great course with point of reflection on the collaboration and the ability to relate within a negotiation. The only flaw is the little interactive slides and poor graphics, but the content has been appreciated.

Very good points. Logical and concisely presented. Will definitely influence the way that I approach a negotiation. Particularly like the idea that both parties need to come away satisfied with the outcome.

The course is quite interesting, mainly including basics to the art of negotiation. However, it would be more useful if the lectures and quizzes covered not only theoretical topics but also practical ones.

I am impressed about how one course can do for me to know so much. I would like to get on deeper course on this now. Thanks a lot for fascinating talk.

One small suggestion is to have more real cases.

Best short and brief video as well as presentations.

It helped me lot to learn new styles and approches towards "negotiations" which is part of daily life these days.

Thanks to the team and Coursera.

succinct, down-to-earth and focused on the essentials - just what I wanted and got! However, certainly no substitute for a negotiation course e.g. as part of an MBA. Overall a bit colourless.

Excellent course with great insights about the often tense and difficult world of negotiations. Only thing I think that could have made this course better would be to have some case studies.

This course made the material easy to find. The only issue is being able to take the quiz 8 hours after you failed it. I think that is a bit excessive but other than that I enjoyed it.

good lecture for beginner but slides can be more present during the lecture to support the professor. Most of the time the background is white and it is easy to get distracted then.

Good points to consider. I was happy this wasn't focused on general coaching in the lines of "go get them", but rather on practical action items such as preparing data

The faculty is good and explained each module in detail. I'll suggest if we can have more case studies on negotiation and we may case study to solve

Totally worth taking this course if you intend to improve your negotiation skills from simply haggling and bargaining to true win-win agreements.

Wonderful introduction to a framework on negotiation. Would have given 5 stars if the distracting 'NGs' were edited out in the last video.

I've learned lots of new things about negotiation, but it's made me less satisfied when I realized that Instructor read from the screen
