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..

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.

It has good content (simple and common sense from my perspective, but usefull). The problem is that it actually looks more as a Decision making course than a Negotiation skills course. If not, it just looks as publicity for Mr Siedel's book, as the videos are Mr Siedel reading word by word what is written in the book. It is not compulsary to buy the book (around 13$ in Amazon), as the videos cover the whole book, but if it weren't for the certificate and the practical case I would just buy the book and not pay for this course.

However, don't get me wrong, as I said before the content is good, and I am glad to have the book as it has a lot of usefull summaries, keypoints and lists. It is just not the type of course that I expected. That's why I recommend to look at the content (not just reading the titles of the videos because some of them are misleading) before paying the course.

Трудное усвоение материала из-за недостаточно хорошего перевода на русский. Искажение слов и смысла в ходе обучения.

Тесты вообще не возможно сдавать, нужно переводить каждый вопрос и варианты ответа, в простом онлайн переводчике также происходит искажение смысла, трудно понять суть вопроса.

О материале курса - безусловно полезен и очень хорош, но многовато воды и бесполезных историй от преподавателя. В целом, после прохождения курса остался осадок, что нужно повторно проходить некоторые недели обучения (может лично я только плохо усваиваю материал).

I work in Real Estate and found the course mostly applicable to my field (about 50%) .

There were modules where I found long-winded examples and upon reviewing the notes these long winded exmples were not necessary. I would have preferred actual a more knowledge based course as opposed to these lengthy boring examples.

I did have to work hard to complete the course and do the exam. So am pleased to have completed it, although not entirely relevant to Sales in Real Estate.
