If you could create an academic course that is in the Emory University spirit of collaboration, creativity, entrepreneurship and inquiry, what would it be? What impact would the course have on you and your classmates' educational experience? (500 word limit)
I would create a course series aiming to impart negotiating skills. The course series will last three semesters. During the first semester, students will be imparted basic theoretical knowledge - critical thinking, argumentation, political science and diplomacy. Students are required to do considerable after-class reading to get a basic understanding of different culture customs in various types of negotiations. During the second semester, the main focus is on practice.
