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..

Dr. Siedel is adorable. I feel more confident and meanwhile more thoughtful for negotiating after this course. I bargained on many personal and business purchases, positions, etc. highly recommended.

should you decide to follow a single course I would suggest this one: "Introduction to Negotiation: A Strategic Playbook for Becoming a Principled and Persuasive Negotiator (Yale Uni)" also available on coursera.
here the speaker is pedantic, and very slow. material is good, but was not adapted to an on-line media. you are just watching a recorded class. not so engaging.
Also the continues push to buy the speaker's book, is a real put-off. No other suggested book.

I think this course should have two versions. A shortened version that teaches basics in every day negotiations (first half of the course) and then the full in-depth course. It seems Mr Seidel is very succesfull in his profession, but I'm not interested why Russian students did laugh as he said "zopa" in one of his classes. The course should be more precise in delivering the contents.

I thought the instructor was very well organized, and knowledgeable. However, the information I received, at times, appeared more descriptive than informative. What I mean, is that I feel that we were told a lot about how things are, and very little about what to do. Overall, great instructor, I had expected more "strategy" and "guidance."

Only few starting videos give new information and techniques, the rest 80% is quite useless. Course would be much better if it gives real tips and techniques rather than constant repetitions of the same information in different forms. If you read the course contents - you already get 75% of what is presented in the videos.

The content was challenging to make it through. The lectures were way too long and centered on the instructor only. The delivery needs to be diversified. More room for reflection, discussion , and collaboration would have been helpful.

This is a business class focused on business negotiations and not personal negotiations skills. I was disappointed. The reading is far beyond what I expected and redundant. Disappointed, very disappointed.

Tries to increase sales of his own book.
Why not, for this course, create some fresh material based on the book?
Other than that, quite interesting course.

Informational content is average at best. Viewing experience is boring. Only book on recommended reading was the professor's own published book.

More than 50% of the course is just the teacher pimping his book out. Literally every single page of the lesson has a link to his book. The first week doesn't even teach you anything, its all about the teacher and how wonderful he is, Oh and click this link to buy his book. This course is an obvious attempt to trick foreign students into taking the class and gaining nothing but another self help book on negotiating and filling the teachers pockets with money.

Feedback sobre o Curso "Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills" Eu gostaria de agradecer pela oportunidade de participar deste curso. Achei o conteúdo muito relevante e aplicável, especialmente as estratégias e habilidades de negociação que foram abordadas. A análise de negociação foi uma ferramenta valiosa que me ajudou a me preparar melhor para minhas próprias negociações. Os aspectos psicológicos apresentados foram particularmente interessantes, pois proporcionaram uma nova perspectiva sobre como entender e influenciar os outros durante as negociações. A prática de negociações em cenários simulados foi extremamente útil para identificar meus pontos fortes e áreas de melhoria. Sugestões de melhoria: Poderiam incluir mais estudos de caso práticos para ilustrar as estratégias em ação. Considerar a adição de mais exercícios interativos para aumentar a participação dos alunos. No geral, foi uma experiência enriquecedora e estou ansioso para aplicar o que aprendi.

Successfully completed a 2 months professional skills learning course from the #UniversityOfMICHIGAN, by Prof George Siedel (Williamson Family Professor of Business Administration / Business Law) offered by #Coursera. This course has been a mouthful of learning professional skills set required by the present day competitive environment. Every aspect of this course is designed in a way that the learner interacts directly with the real time situations happening globally, provided by the tutor resulting in shaping your professional understandings. The course has provided me with a diverse experience learning globally with other students and gave a chance to intercultural communication that made this course interesting and worthy. I would like to thank Prof George Siedel (Williamson Family Professor of Business Administration / Business Law) for his efficient efforts of teaching the course.

The course is an excellent one for anyone wanting to improve on or learn how to negotiate! I decided to take this course since I felt that as a manager my negotiations skills were woeful. I normally tackle things head on, get to the point without much adieu and am quite forthright with my opinions. Everyone know upfront what my goal is! This course has allowed me to appreciate that a getting to know you could be very helpful in negotiations and that consideration of the other side's interest is important for successful negotiations. What struck me the most though is the reality that negotiations need not result in a situation where one side wins all but that efforts can be made to ensure everyone interests are met through building a "bigger pie". My intention is to spend time reviewing what I have learnt and bit by bit putting it into practice!

The course is structured in a way that it leaves no room for bluff and it gives students a mental structured checklist (Plan-->Negotiate-->Close-->Evaluate) to use in real-life day-to-day negotiations, especially when you have absolutely no idea where to start. It also teaches you the different psychological tools that will be highly useful in negotiations. What I loved most about the course, frankly, is the instructor. He knew what he was doing and is very attentive to the small details where students might find confusing. To be honest, if it wasn't for the life experiences and case studies he shared, I wouldn't have understood many of the course materials. All in all, this is a great course for everyone regardless of career or experience or age, you definitely wouldn't be leaving empty-handed.

This really was an excellent course, and I'm quite happy to have invested the time and effort in it. Not a lot of courses out there that's been given for free that has this much quality and depth. It's organized and paced really well. I even feel more engaged with this professor, across a screen, than I have in some other face to face classes.
It's quite unfortunate that I've come across it during the time of this pandemic when funds are short to pay for the certification, but under (former) normal circumstances, this is definitely worth it.
Looking forward to browsing and hopefully come across other ones in the future that I will feel the same way about.
Kudos professor Siedel and the team. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and grow.

I recently enrolled in a highly valuable course that stood out for its clarity, comprehensiveness, and practical approach. The instructors did an excellent job of simplifying complex concepts, making them easy to understand for beginners. The course covered a wide range of topics, leaving no major gaps in knowledge. What truly enhanced the learning experience were the real-life examples and case studies that were incorporated throughout the course. By analyzing practical scenarios, I gained a deeper understanding of how to apply the concepts in real-world situations. Overall, this course offered a user-friendly and informative learning experience, making it highly recommended for anyone seeking a solid foundation in the subject matter.
