“Personal Negotiation Assessment”

  
The end-of-course project for this class is an APA style paper. You will be writing a “Personal Negotiation Assessment”. This will not only summarize what you have learned throughout the course but you will be able to comprehensively address your own negotiating style and effectiveness (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, future learning agenda, etc.). You will integrate readings and assignments that have occurred during the academic semester. 
The project should be at least 6 pages APA style (including cover page and references).
To help you organize your paper you can use these points to cover in your paper:

Do not write your paper in question/answer form; you may include the answers to the questions within your writing but do not “list” them. The intent of this project is for you to expand the knowledge you acquired during the course and summarize your own bargaining and negotiating skills. Make sure to use terminology learned through your readings of the book.

3.
How do I see myself in relation to the question in (2) above?
4.
