Do My Liberty BUSI 455 Course for Me

The opening fortnight sets the stage. Sande's first seven chapters lead to a 100-point forum thread in week one, and week two brings the 60-point replies and the 40-point ExpertNegotiator analysis after Lewicki's chapters fourteen and sixteen.

Negotiation 1 follows. Its plan, worth 100, closes week three once the foundational chapters are read; the session and its results, worth 150, follow in week four.

The Ethics Paper, worth 150, comes in week five, after Lewicki's chapters eleven to thirteen and Sande's chapter eight.

Negotiation 2 fills the last three weeks: the 150-point plan in week six, built on the negotiation backgrounds, the 150-point session in week seven, and the 75-point self-critique in week eight with the peer evaluation.

From week three to week eight, each week holds a plan, a session or the Ethics Paper.

Because the two negotiations bracket the Ethics Paper, the paper often draws on what happened in the first session, which makes it more concrete.

Planning documents follow Lewicki's planning process: defining the issues, assembling and ranking them, understanding the other party's interests and alternatives, setting targets and resistance points, and choosing a strategy and opening.

Each plan includes a short script for the opening and a list of trades you could offer, so it is usable at the table.

The results report is written from your notes on the session: what was agreed, how it compared with your target and resistance point, and why the outcome landed where it did.

The Ethics Paper takes a clear position on its question and supports it with Lewicki's ethical frameworks and Sande's principles, acknowledging the strongest opposing view.

The self-critique compares what you planned with what happened, names what worked and what you would change, and ties each point to the reading.

The forum thread applies Sande's early chapters to a real conflict, and the ExpertNegotiator analysis interprets the platform's results.

Each piece is cited in APA 7 and delivered early.

For a used-equipment sale case, for example, the plan might set the seller's target at the listed price, a resistance point just above the scrap value, and offer delivery and a short warranty as low-cost trades that matter more to the buyer than to the seller.

A professional negotiator or mediator does the coursework, usually someone who has prepared for and run real negotiations in contracts, procurement or labor relations.

They plan negotiations at work the way the course asks, which makes the planning documents practical.

One negotiator normally prepares both plans, keeping your style consistent, and a colleague reviews each before release.

Your name stays at the coordinator's desk, and a quick explanation of any tactic is available before you negotiate.

The Ethics Paper and forum are handled with respect for the course's biblical approach to conflict.

They know how classmates tend to negotiate, often too quickly and too close to the opening offer, and build plans that slow the session down and protect your resistance point.

Their plans are written so you can glance at a single page during the session and see your target, your walk-away point and your next concession.

Plans lose points when they lack a resistance point or a best alternative, because without them the plan cannot guide a decision.

Plans also lose points when every issue is treated as a fixed pie and no integrative trades are considered.

Results reports lose points when they describe the session without comparing it with the plan.

The Ethics Paper loses points when it takes no clear position or ignores the biblical framework the course uses.

The self-critique loses points when it is a narrative rather than an honest evaluation.

Scheduling the live sessions with a classmate is the practical challenge that writing cannot solve.

Integrative cases are the hardest, because the best outcome only appears if both sides share interests, and a plan that hides everything can miss the deal that would have helped both.

The forum thread arrives before week one ends, and the replies and analysis before week two ends.

The Negotiation 1 plan arrives several days before week three closes, and the results report shortly after you send your session notes in week four.

The Ethics Paper reaches you midway through week five; the second plan arrives early in week six.

The self-critique is written in week eight from your notes on the week-seven session.

Each document is a separate line, with the Ethics Paper and the second plan as the largest.

A mid-term order covers only what remains.

If you can only hand over part of the course, the Negotiation 2 plan and the Ethics Paper are the items with the most points each.

Students who join after the first session often order the Ethics Paper, the second plan and the self-critique, the three items that remain and carry the most points.
