I have completed over 12 courses on Coursera and this one is the best presented of them all. You can learn a lot of un-intuitive things about negotiation that will serve you well in life and business.

I can only say THANK YOU Prof. Nalebuff!
The course is challenging, interesting, stimulating and helped me learn not only negotiation skills but to understand their wide and useful implications in the real world. I developed a more strategic frame of mind without compromising on aspects such as fairness and mutual parties satisfaction. Thank you for making the course so interactive and interesting, I never felt we were alone in this. I also enjoyed the group projects which helped to push our limits, challenge the concepts we were learning and use them in concrete negotiation cases. I could not recommend this course more.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the thoughtful design of this course 🤩. It's a joy to learn when each lesson is as engaging as the last 📚✨. The use of examples, videos 🎥, and even a WhatsApp chat group 📱 enriches the learning experience. The live negotiation opportunities are incredibly beneficial 🤝, and the chance to connect with fellow learners is fantastic 🌐. Professor Barry Nalebuff's expertise undoubtedly makes him one of the world's leading educators in this field 👨🏫🌟. This course is a gift to the mind 🎁 and adds tremendous value to life. Highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their horizons! 🚀

I found this course very helpful and would recommend this course for anyone who wants to improve their negotiation skills. The course uses animation to elaborate complex concepts and assignments for practices. Not like other negotiation skills teaching the tips for negotiation, the thinking logic and principle of the course is highly useful. Besides, there are many recorded role plays for us to see what others do and what we can learn from others. So far this is the best course I've taken at Coursera Platform! I do think Coursera should make some billboard for course recommendations based on students comments.

This course is extremely valuable. It provides a really interesting approach to negotiations, which is really creative and easy to understand. If you are keen on Maths there is also some optional advanced information.
The videos are really proffesionally animated and easy-going. Having live practices with fellow students is enriching and amusing. On top of everything, the advices of experienced negotiators are really valuable treasures.
Another important thing is that the considered study cases cover some situations that might be faced in your professional career. No doubt, I highly recommend this course!

This is an amazing course, wonderfully prepared and giving you super useful skills, applicable not only in deal making. It shows a principled approach to negotiation, framing it in terms of fairness and not as a hard ball game. Besides being an effective method, it provides a constructive approach to negotiation, allowing you to get the desired outcome without compromising on the long-term relationships. As a scientist myself, I very much enjoyed the touch of math and a very quick intro to game theory! Thank you Prof. Nalebuff and all the people who helped you prepare this wonderful experience!

This course offers, Extraordinary insight into different strategies of Negotiation, which I had no knowledge of in-spite of having 24 years of experience in Negotiation (buying, selling, sourcing of Fabrics & garments).
Hat's off to Professor Barry Nalebuff, who has put in huge efforts in making this course so much interesting, enjoyable and easy to understand with case studies.
Keep it up Professor Barry Nalebuff , Yale University & Coursera in offering such an informative, usefull course on Negotiation.
Looking forward to enrolling into more courses offered by Professor Barry Nalebuff.

It is a very interesting course. It gives you an idea of what to think before entering a negotiation, setting your goals, the importance of cooperating with the other person to find a solution that works for both sides, expanding the benefits of a deal. The videos are simple with great visualisations that help you understand the basic concepts of the negotiation. The exercises that you have to do and the quizzes are brilliant and help you understand the material as well as practice with other persons. The professor Barry Nalebuff is great too. I highly recommend this course.

A very great course. I learnt a lot of new and useful things after the course. I love how the animations make things look more simple and easier to understand, and I love the honest messages that Professor Nalebuff and Mr. Cohen deliver. In the end, I see this course not only teaches us the negotiation techniques but also shows us the lessons in life: be honest and have a kind heart (cooperative mind, fair and care for the others). That is the message I like the most. Thank you Professor Nalebuff and thank you Coursesa for making this course available to me and to everyone.

It has been a really important, challenging and useful experience for me.
Negotiation is present in every moment of our lives. We need to know about this.
People face multiple negotiation processes every day of their lives and in their work.
However, it is necessary to do this by seeing people's experiences and using a scientific approach.
This course has taught me a lot.
I hope that I will see the benefits of support both in my daily life and in my professional life.
Thank you so much.
As the esteemed author Herb Cohen said, 'anything is negotiable.'

Fantastic course! Excellent Prof who is extremely enthusiastic and engaging. The course material was equally challenging as it was interesting. Guest speakers were also great, once again great choice by Course Lecturer Prof Barry Nalebuff I can't say enough great things about him, really. Highly recommend! As an Attorney-at-Law I felt I had some negotiation skills going in but learning the theoretical aspects of negotiation the concepts and principles in such an intricate manner is certainly beyond the practical negotiation training received in law school.

An excellent course, organised by a superb instructor. I would highly recommend this course to anyone with a general interest in negotiation. The course is fun, interesting and constantly challenging. Great care has been taken in the preparation of materials, including the visual appeal of the animations used in videos and the direct dialogue by Prof. Barry Nalebuff. There are tools and exercises that you will find applicable in everyday life, not just in negotiations. This course is worth the Coursera subscription alone. Thanks to all involved.

Barry is intelligent and imparts knowledge by connecting deeply with his students, using wisecracks and giving practical notes. This course deepened my knowledge of important concepts such as; the Pie, the Principle of the Divided Cloth, Shapley's Value, and most importantly, learning to lean into my personality traits while developing a negotiation strategy. This course is filled with exciting and practical knowledge of negotiation. I am grateful to Yale University for the opportunity to learn and improve my professional career. I recommend.

This is the best course I've done on Coursera so far. All the lectures are amazingly well-designed and Professor Nalebuff is a superb teacher. I started learning this course with the intention of developing my people skills and making me better at negotiations, and I must say that it has paid off.
Once I get my stipend, I am certainly going to buy the certificate for this course. I think that would be the best way to show my admiration for this course, the lecturers and the sheer amount of knowledge that I learned over the past 8 weeks.

Like the course very much. Among other things, it gives a complementary framework for negotiators, especially for the smaller players under the perspective that even though they might be smaller, a potentially positive agreement for all involved can only be reached if the smaller player also agrees.
This concept allows smaller players to pursue equal parts of the total benefit instead of pre-agreement weight proportionality, under the argument that if the smaller does not agree, the projected benefit will actually not take place.

I started this course because I believe that negotiation is a very important skill in today's world and after finishing this course I think I have a better outlook on how to approach a negotiation. This course clears all the basic, one needs to know in order to prepare for a negotiation. The exercises were practical which helped a lot. And we even got some different insights from other professional negotiators. Overall I believe this course is really beneficial for someone who really wants to learn about negotiation.

Great course and big cimplements to Barry. He knows what he is talking about and brings it with so much enthousiasm which keeps you going. The course has the right balance between listening, watching videos with actors, role playing and quizzes. I was not a big fan of coursera becasue it is too much top down information but this cours shows online courses can be exiting. I did the caes with a fellow student from vietnam and it is really nice to meet people witht he same interest from all over the world. Thank you!

Great course to be a principled negotiator. The course has 3 cases to negotiate with other students. A great opportunity to practice what we just learned. Highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to be a better negotiator in life. Thanks much Professor Barry Nalebuff and his team, as well as to Yale University and Coursera to bring such an awesome course for us to learn and practice so we can be a better negotiator and fair person in life as well as better contribute to our community and society.

This course was unquestionably worth its price, presenting a meticulously structured program filled with enlightening case studies and hands-on assignments that deeply elucidated critical negotiation concepts. The interactive component, allowing for engaging negotiations with my online peers, introduced a dynamic and enjoyable aspect to the learning process. Overall, it was an exceptional opportunity to refine my negotiation skills, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to excel in this domain.

This was the best negotiation course I ever took in my 32 years of business career. Professor Barry Nalebuff really did a great job in compiling experiences in business, and in didactically presenting this in a Distance Training Internet Course. A note to all young people starting a career: I am convinced, that if I had taken this course earlier in my career and in life, many things would have been much better--I suggest you take this opportunity right now and be surprised on how simple it is!

It is a very interesintg, useful and effective course, which after finishing it will help both at work and in life. It might be felt that it is quite complicated for those, who are not native speakers, but with time when you go dipper and dipper, you become more and more engaged into it and you can't stop doing it. The Professor is remarkable! The tasks are creative and aspirational. Highly recommend to those, who wants to get more practical and professional knowledge in the negotitations art.

One of the best course on Negotiation strategies. Though this being my very 1st course, the course content was well covered & all the concepts were explained in detail with animations and diagrams where ever necessary.That helped in easy explanation & understanding of even some difficult content. The case studies were excellent in the way they were carried out with anonymous peers. We had exchanged ideas & helped provide inputs which made the course even more interacting & interesting.

The only word that come to mind is thanks. Thanks for all the work in putting this course together. It is packed of wisdom and hardly acquired experience on Negotiation. The peer to peer negotiation are an amazing way to train and meet interesting people. I am from the UK and partnered with people in Nigeria, Brazil, and Thailand. And the acting of the negotiation from students is very valuable too. I say it once more, thanks for all the work in preparing and sharing this material.
