Graduate Writing Assignment

Oral presentation of case study

Active participation/attendance is expected of all graduate students. This chart shows the level of participation for the semester.

Students are expected to complete the assigned reading and come to class fully prepared to discuss and critically analyze the reading material. Each class member is responsible for finding answers to questions that arise to enhance her own learning and the learning. Because of the format of this experiential learning opportunity, class discussion will be an even more critical component of this course. Each class will be spent discussing reading, experiences, reflections, and interviews we have had with individuals living in Ecuador.

Each student, working with an assigned team will prepare for, and participate in, a simulated negotiation. Each student will define the issue or problem that will be negotiated, identify the interests leading to the need to negotiate the issue, prepare and present proposals, identify potential leverage tools that will influence bargaining, and practice effective communication when engaging in the simulation.
