| Course Duration and Work Load |

course was conducted by UNITAR over the internet and was made available
to participants for a six-week period. The course required participants
to work for at least 25 hours to complete all compulsory reading materials
and assignments during this six-week period. The work load for this
e-Learning course was equivalent to a five-day traditional (face-to-face,
instructor-led) workshop. |

| This e-Learning course provided participants with (a) compulsory reading materials; (b) additional reading materials; (c) bibliography of references; (d) glossary of terms; (e) external links to Internet resources; (f) lesson reviews; (g) an instructor-moderated asynchronous discussion board; (h) community tools for email exchanges among course participants and with instructors; (i) quizzes and assessments; and (j) learning tools using new information technologies. |
This course is a good one in terms of providing every participant an opportunity
to meet online negotiators form other parts of the world. The materials,
both the compulsory and optional ones, are very informative and practical.
The instructors and moderators were very helpful.
I find the course very rewarding, and I learnt within the last four weeks
a quality expertise in negotiation that I believe will impact positively
in my dealings both in my official and private relationships.
Well I did enjoy the course; I only hope that my contribution could have
been better. The course did change my perception of negotiation. In fact,
I am on my way to a meeting now where I intend to use all the skills gained.
I enjoyed this course, I learnt a lot and what I learnt is not only for
information sake but to be practiced, so I am really appreciative and
satisfied with the course.
I've enjoyed it very much. Very interesting materials and very well organized.
Thank you.
I am glad that in spite of time constraint, I managed to finish it up,
and I have through the course acquired some knowledge that would continue
to assist me in the discharge of my duties as a career diplomat. I thank
the course Director, his team and the entire UNITAR family for this opportunity.
The course was very interesting, educative and has equipped us with the
tools for handling negotiation issues.
It has been a pleasure and my favorite course so far.
I enjoyed and have benefited from the course. It is a sine qua non
course for all persons involved in negotiations.
It was a nice opportunity for me to participate to this online course
and I would like to continue anytime it is possible. I congratulate the
UNITAR team for this successful course and I thank all participants for
their interest to this topic.
It was a great experience and I gained quite a bit and looking forward
to participate in future ones.
This is a very useful course which has met all my expectation. I hope
there will be a follow-up to it in the future.
Its was very nice to have this course, added more into my understanding
of international negotiations and negotiation skills, its really nice
, this is my second online course with UNITAR.
I thank UNITAR for the great job of capacity building and training the
world. I owe profound gratitude to UNITAR and they should keep it up.
