negotiation, assessment, video

Too often, we don’t assess exactly what we want our students to learn. In a Negotiation course, for instance, we presumably expect students to improve their negotiation skills. Yet standard assessment vehicles such as papers, journals, exams, and presentations typically enable instructors to assess students’ analytical and/or self-evaluation skills, but not their actual negotiation skills. This session discusses a video-based assignment (used in a Negotiation course, but applicable to any skills-oriented course) that enables instructors to assess students’ behavioral skills as well as their analytical and self-evaluation skills. This assignment works well in a traditional, blended, or online course format.
