• Taking the forth course from the specialization was a great experience for me as this course sheds light on the different methods of negotiations, behavior, and traits of a negotiator. The instructor has explained well how you can start and end a negotiation in a humane manner. The pace of the course was fine and the videos were informational. The extra resources, case study, and peer review assignments were of great help. (KRK, ★★★★★).

Negative Feedback:

• Taking the first course in the specialization was probably a mistake as I was not able to understand anything related. Even though the instructor Margaret Meloni seemed enthusiastic and pleasant to listen to yet the content she shared was sparse. It seemed like she was only reading a presentation which anyone can get from a book as well. (Hermione F, ★★☆☆☆).
• The third course was fine but not an excellent one. It was a mix of general tips as to how you can write professionally with some corporate-specific information. Overall I didn’t learn anything special from this course. (Vinayak I, ★★☆☆☆).
• The forth course was a little too theoretical for me. The instructor could have increased the number of attempts for quiz. Overall it was not worth my time and I don’t feel like recommending this course to any of my peers. (Daniel LT, ★★☆☆☆).
