I took this course out of sheer curiosity and love for negotiation. I hail from a Psychology background and for the first time in my life, I heard about these business and law principles integrated with psychology. This was one of the absolutely best courses I have taken so far, it was challenging but in the right way- it helped me grow and gave me exposure to so many formal proceedings and challenges involved in devising and implementing a negotiation strategy and skillset. I loved the exam and the quizzes, the best part was that the questions were challenging- at least for someone like me- but they allowed me to expand my horizons and polish my skillset.

The course is full of interesting stories and situations that show how important it is to have a good grasp on negotiating and what strategies can help you improve - whether with friends, family, or in business. I took this course because I tend to be a giver and sometimes have a difficult time standing up for myself even when it's reasonable. After doing the peer-to-peer negotiation in week 6 - I don't think that will ever happen again. It was a lesson I'll never forget because hindsight and the peer-to-peer review was extremely enlightening and showed me a lot more about myself than I could've imagined. Here's a very warm thank you Professor Siedel.

This course is an excellent example of professionalism in teaching. I had an idea about the reputation carried by Michigan University, but Mr. George Seidel surpassed that and gave a great lot of insights into the subject through this course. One thing I noticed is the compilation of the course contents and the easy explanation of those vide videos with apt durations. I am very pleased with the experience and the contents of this course and have already recommended to many of my colleagues. I would like to thank Mr. George Seidel, Michigan University and Coursera for this wonderful opportunity and experience. Thankfully, Anwin Gopinathan.

This is one of the BEST Coursera MOOCs I have attended (and I have attended a lot). Mainly because Mr. Siedel (the instructor) is very skilled at teaching and covered all concepts with simple meanings and relevant examples. And also because he had a lot of personal experience in Negotiation and was thereby able to provide us his own experiences. Finally, the entire course was systematically arranged and each module had an introduction and summary. Plus, week-6 encourages students to apply the course, which sets this course apart from many courses. A hearty congratulations to Mr. Siedel and the University of Michigan for this excellent course.

Não é minha aréa, mas pude de uma noção sob negociações, principalmente internacinal, já que sou do Brasil e as negociações são um tão diferente, espero que com esse curso eu possa evoluir não só profissionalmente, mas pessoalmente em minha vida. e quem sabe conhecer a universidade de Michigan e o professor George Siedel

It's not my area, but I was able to get a sense of negotiations, mainly internationally, since I'm from Brazil and negotiations are so different, I hope that with this course I can evolve not only professionally, but personally in my life. and maybe get to know the University of Michigan and Professor George Siedel

I highly recommend the course "Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills" by Dr. George J. Siedel. As a Thurnau Professor of Business Law at the University of Michigan, Dr. Siedel's expertise in negotiation is clearly demonstrated throughout the course. His clear and concise teaching style makes the content easy to understand and apply in real-life situations. The course provides essential strategies and skills necessary for successful negotiation, which can benefit both personal and professional relationships. Overall, I found this course to be insightful, engaging, and incredibly valuable.

I am immensely grateful for the practical skills and knowledge that I gained through this course. Professor Siedel you had the unique ability to simplify complex concepts, making them accessible and understandable to all of us. Also, the real-world examples and case studies not only deepened my understanding of the subject matter but also equipped me with valuable insights that I can apply in my future endeavors.

Moreover, I got inspired to continue developing my negotiation skills and pursue further opportunities in this field. Thank you once again, Professor Siedel and University of Michigan for the opportunity.

The course is very well done. Many basic concepts with interesting examples and explanations, clear and readable slides. The teacher talks VERY clearly, and the audio quality is pristine, helping following without problem. The final test and negotiation practice exercise are proportioned to the course material. I think I got some very good things out of the course, not only for negotiating deals and managing disputes, but also for applying the skills in my everyday life (everyday issues and deals on the job, negotiating and dealing with issues in life requiring deal-making and dispute resolution skills)

The "Successful Negotiation" course by the University of Michigan on Coursera was a game-changer! The instructors' expertise and engaging content made learning negotiation strategies a breeze. The hands-on exercises gave me practical skills applicable in real-life scenarios. I achieved a distinction with 95.55% and now feel more confident in my negotiation abilities. This course is a must for anyone seeking to excel in both personal and professional negotiations. Thanks, Coursera and University of Michigan, for this impactful learning experience!

I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on a course I've recently completed. The content is exceptional and incredibly rich in information — far beyond my expectations. I genuinely believe that this course is beneficial for everyone, whether you're in business or just looking to enhance your understanding of life in general. The insights offered connect to our daily lives in various ways, often without us even realizing it. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and skills. It truly is a valuable experience!

Coursera has truly been a game-changer for me in my learning journey. The platform offers a vast array of courses from top-notch universities and industry professionals, covering a wide range of subjects. The flexibility to learn at my own pace, coupled with engaging video lectures and interactive quizzes, made the learning experience enjoyable and effective. The option to earn certificates upon completion adds great value to my professional profile. I highly recommend Coursera to anyone looking to enhance their skills or delve into a new field of study.

This was my first course on negotiation strategies.It is a very good course for beginners.The theoretical aspect might seem boring at times but they are helpful in doing the negotiation exercise.I recommend watching it with breaks and making notes so that you have a to do list to review before a negotiation.The professor tells his anecdotes about his negotiation experiences which are fascinating and relevant ! A must try course :) I would also like to thank coursera for providing me financial aide for the course.I am really grateful.

Siedel is obviously knowledgable and highly respected and has a pleasant, engaging lecturing style. At first, I was apprehensive about the House on Elm Street exercise. However, I ended up learning about home sales and putting some of the skills I had learned in class to use, both of which were great. I also enjoyed working with my partner and getting to know some of the other students, all of whom live in places more or less different from the United States. Definitely a value, considering that the course itself is completely free!

Professor Siedel makes even the most complicated legal jargon simple to understand, to the extent that as a high-school student, I didn't need to Google individual terms to find out their meanings even once!

I highly appreciate the way he has structured this course, as I entered it feeling that negotiation may be out of my league (academically, I have a background primarily in physics, chemistry and math) but as I finish it today, I am confident that armed with a few more practical negotiation sessions, I'll be able to hold my own!

Online classes, such as the "Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills" class, offer several advantages over face-to-face educational experiences. First, online classes provide more flexibility in terms of scheduling and location, which can be especially helpful for individuals who have busy schedules or live in remote areas. Online classes can also offer a wider range of resources and materials, such as video lectures, interactive simulations, and online forums for discussion and collaboration with other students.

Negotiation skills are very important for personal and professional life. Our guru , Our Professor George Siedel Sir has brought life to this course through real life examples, case studies, and even I came to know of how a negotiation, mediation takes place in reality. I am always excited to hear Siedel Sir's voice, his explanation , humour, important lessons for life. I loved the Golden rule: "Treat others the way you want to be treated". Sir I would personally like to greet you, thank you for sharing knowledge. .

This is an amazing course. I got to learn so much be it practical or theoretical knowledge. Successful Negotiation : Essential Strategies and Skills is surely going to hep me at professional as well as personal front. The intake that I got from this course would always help me to stay one step ahead than others. Prof. George Siedel made everything sound so easy and understandable that no difficulty was face through out the course. I would really like to recommend this course to many out there.

Highly recommended course for anyone who wants to learn or improve their negotiation skills. The course covers the essential steps and tactics for successful negotiation, as well as the common pitfalls and challenges. The course also provides learners with an opportunity to practice their skills with a real partner and receive feedback. The course is suitable for learners of different levels and backgrounds, as long as they have an interest in negotiation and a willingness to learn.

One of the standout features of the course was its comprehensive coverage of negotiation principles and techniques. Professor George Siedel, provided a solid theoretical foundation while also offering practical insights and real-world examples that made the concepts easy to understand and apply. From understanding the psychology of negotiation to mastering effective communication strategies, each module was packed with actionable insights that I could immediately put into practice.

This course has been articulated really well to reach out to all experienced skilled personals in Sales & Marketing field.

This course helped me to have a different outlook on Negotiation skills even though having more than 20 years of experience in Sales and Marketing .

BATNA, Decision Tree, Create a Contract, Close a Contract, Arbitration & Mediation were few of the topics that enthused me a lot.

Thank you Coursera, Thank you University of Michigan ..Thank you Mr. George Siedel

I really liked the professor and the materials of the class. He has a great personality and he breaks everything down in a way anyone can understand it. This review comes from the perspective of a person who has never formally taken a class in negotiation. The examples and videos were also extremely interesting and fun too. I took this class alone during COVID 19, so I didn't have a partner to do some of the exercises. However, I still have a lot of fun taking the class.

Acquiring knowledge is tough and fun. This course was properly structured and moved on to the legal and psychological aspects which were structured evenly and with great examples. I enjoyed going through a different aspect that is hidden within the negotiation processes which I have never thought of during my professional life. Highly recommended for those who want to understand more about psychological, legal, and different deal-making and dispute resolution.

Thank you, George Seidel for all your efforts and courtesy to provide such a prestigious Michgan university courses.I have taken four attempts to get 97.77 % . I will regards this has my first skills to live a well balanced life. Hope I will successful make the transition from job seeking employee to entrepreneur..

May God bless you abundantly and hope I will get an opportunity to express my gratitude...
