Short Critical Reflective Response #2

Description

Reflect on your negotiation progress to date after five weeks of class.  What readings have been most influential or insightful to you so far and why?

In the in-person negotiation exercises (University Pizza, Diego Primadonna, County Fairgrounds, and Chuck’s Wagon), where do you see improvement in your preparation skills, and where do you feel you need to focus on additional improvement?

Discuss the progress you have seen with your skills (both with in-class negotiation exercises as well as in your daily life experiences) and specifically assess your 5 key skills as delineated in the Schneider article assigned in week 1 (Assertiveness, Empathy, Flexibility, Social Intuition, and Ethicality). 

Overall, what are you finding most challenging and why?  Where do you feel you are improving, and what has been effective in making this progress? What has been most surprising to you?
