Problem-Solving and Resolution

This course has major project assignments due in Week 3 and Week 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and work on those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.

The third part of the course project gives you the opportunity to engage in the last two stages of the negotiation process. The first stages of negotiation are preparation and information sharing. The last two stages relate to the problem solving (or the actual bargaining processes) and the completion (resolution) of the negotiated outcome. Additionally, you will be gaining insight into your authentic self in the negotiation process, practicing behaviors for building greater other awareness, and refining your use of negotiation tools. Please remember that this should be the same negotiation you discussed in the W3 Project.

Problem-Solving and Resolution

Tasks:

• Begin this segment of your final project with a one- or two-paragraph introduction that summarizes the negotiation scenario, purpose, participants, and two or three key points from the preparation and information sharing that would help someone who has not read anything about the project develop a basic grasp of what is happening.
• Provide a one- to two-page evaluation of the structural components of the negotiation event.
  • For example, describe where the negotiation occurred, how long it lasted, who actually participated, and how each of those factors might have impacted the negotiation.
  • Include an analysis of how you might arrange the structural pieces differently in future negotiations (e.g., what you learned that you can apply to future negotiations) to provide greater advantage or produce a more positive negotiated outcome.
• Provide a three- to four-page analysis of the negotiation process that happened.
  • What were the initial positions?
  • How did interests and the BATNAs influence the negotiation process and the final outcome?
  • What cultural and communication elements were present?
  • What barriers or problems emerged? How were they addressed?
  • What was the climate of the negotiations? What were the strategies, tactics, and styles evident in the negotiation?
  • What countermeasures were evident?
  • How did all of these types of considerations impact the bargaining process?
  • How might you approach the problem-solving stage differently in future negotiations (e.g., what you learned that you can apply to future negotiations) to provide greater advantage or produce a more positive negotiated outcome?
• Provide a one- to two-page description of the final outcome of the negotiation.
  • Include an assessment of the outcome for each party (e.g., was it a win for each party?). Provide rationale and evidence.
  • Provide an appraisal of any other outcomes that were considered and how those outcomes might have changed each party’s assessment of the negotiated settlement.
• Finally, summarize the entire negotiation case study learning experience in one to two pages.
  • How do you assess your own performance as a strategic negotiator?
  • What principles have you outlined that you will apply the next time you “do” a negotiation?
  • What did you learn about your authentic self? How have you changed?
  • What tools have you gained? Be sure to use course concepts and terminology in your summary.

Submission Details:

• Submit your case study analysis in a 7- to 10-page Microsoft Word document.

Guidelines for the Short Final Paper

: Content: The content of the paper will center on the three acts of the mind. Subject Matter: Considering your major, or a contemplated major, relate the three acts of the mind to either 1) the process of learning your major, or, 2) how you will use the principles you have learned in your major in performing the duties of your job on a daily basis . Evaluation: This instructor expects that the writing done in this course will meet certain standards. Students will incorporate Standard English usage, punctuation, grammar, and the like. Do not use slang terms or the “Urban Dictionary.” No text or IM abbreviations are to be used whatsoever. I will look for The Three Acts of the Mind – Simple Apprehension, Judgment, and Reasoning to be used, and used correctly. If they are not, appropriate deductions will be made. The applicable sections of the Writing Intensive Course grading rubric will be used for the final paper. This rubric follows. Length: The paper must have at least 2 pages minimum, and not more than 3 pages maximum of body text. Word-process the paper in Times New Roman Font, which will produce 21 – 22 lines of body text per page. This means that there must be from 40 to 44 lines minimum to 60 to 66 lines maximum of body text in the paper. Format: This paper must be double-spaced throughout. If there are blank lines, they will not count toward meeting the length requirement. I will count lines if the paper appears to be short! You can use APA or MLA to document your sources. Sources should include Kreeft’s 9 Socratic Logic, and at least one other outside source. Students may quote and cite Professor Porter’s handouts for a second source

(Kreeft’s Socratic Logic and one more source )

Please answer any 3 questions

Responses to each question are limited to 350 words.

1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.
2. Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time?
4. Describe how you have taken advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an educational barrier you have faced.
5. Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?
6. What have you done to make your school or your community a better place?

This week you will practice writing a formal legal brief. By briefing a case, you are reading the entire court opinion then summarizing it into your own words so that the important information from the brief is easier to understand and remember.

Brief the case of Florence v. Board Of Chosen Freeholders of the County of Burlington, 566 U.S. ___ (2012).

Help with format>>
Legal case names should be done in standard “Blue Book” format. Example:
York v. Smith, 65 U.S. 294 (1995). For further information see http://www.law.cornell.edu/citation and look under the “How to Cite” section. In addition see the resource section for this course and click on the folder marked “how to brief a case”.
Case briefs are used to highlight the key information contained within a case for use within the legal community as court cases can be quite lengthy.When writing case briefs, all information must be properly cited. Make sure you are not copying and pasting from your source. Most of the material should be paraphrased; quotations should make up no more than 10% of the brief. Note: since the purpose to is highlight and summarize key information, merely copying and pasting from the case does not accomplish this goal. You must summarize the facts in your own words, using quotations sparingly.

For
your assignment this week, you will detail key aspects of development
and discuss the role of nature and nurture in development.  View
