LESSONS LEARNED

Introductions

• To help facilitate class interaction and collegiality, please make a posting on the discussion forum entitled “Introduce Yourself” on Blackboard by January 5. I would like you to briefly describe who you are, where you are in your program, what negotiation experience you have and what your goals are for yourself in this course. See my posting to the “Introduce Yourself” forum to learn more about me.

BORING

• Buddy interview

• Make 2-minute video introductions

Personal Reflections
