Therefore, keep current on your journal and paper. It will save you from having to do a summary of the semester's work in addition to preparing for the concluding problems.

Trying to recall a negotiation a month later from notes invariably leads to vague generalities and decidedly average analysis. I love teaching this material because I believe in it.
Skillful negotiation is critical for effective public administration.
I hope you will overcome the odd, fatigue inducing hours of our class meetings and burdens of your daily lives in order to invest your time, energy, and enthusiasm in the study of negotiations. I will do my best to justify that investment.
