The course will feature THREE (3) in-class discussions that enable the class to analyze/evaluate examples of negotiations in the media. Each student will be required to provide cinematic examples of the concepts discussed in class – these can be scenes from movies, television, Internet media, etc.

While not all submissions may be discussed in class, each student must submit a scene for TWO (2) DIFFERENT discussion periods. They will LEAD THE CLASS DISCUSSION for one of them.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Please provide the following information for your submissions:
— Movie/Series/Program name

— A brief paragraph describing the NEGOTIATION CONCEPTS illustrated
— (HELPFUL) A link to the IMDB page for the movie/series/program… and/or a link to a video of the scene itself.
