Emphasis is placed on: English, Negotiation, Business Cloud Technologies.

All lectures are online. All quizzes are online. All RPG simulations are online.
Students are free to form and meet with other students to form groups for the RPG simulations.

The most important goal is to introduce you to the fundamentals of negotiation through LEARNING BY DOING. We will emphasize the modern use of online activities and use of cloud technologies. Negotiation communication through written business letters will be part of the emphasis, preparing students for development of core skills useful in the job market.

Because negotiation is an international business skill, this class will use both English. Negotiations will be simulated through an RPG group-based game with all negotiations and scoring completed online outside of the classroom.

Emphasis is on actual practice of the skills (both negotiation and English). All negotiation simulations will be done within the context of an RPG created by Prof. Warden.
