This final paper will focus on personal “take-aways” from our time together.

In a five-page, double-spaced essay, please:

a) discuss what the main takeaways from this course will be for your professional life, and

b) provide actionable recommendations for how you will use these takeaways in your future work.

You should distill down to and reference the information and lessons that you found most useful from our class trainings, debriefings, reflections, weekly readings/materials, and your application logs to list your primary takeaways and, most important, what you plan to do to make these skills a priority.

What behaviors will you commit to in your life and in your organization(s) to become an outstanding conflict manager and negotiator?

What techniques will you apply in your career moving forward? Imagine the professor giving you a call 10 years from now and asking: “What have you put into practice from our class?”

This final reflection should act as a blueprint for and commitment to addressing that question. The professor will answer questions about this assignment during our second to last class. Please bring the paper to our final class as a hard copy only, use one-inch margins, double-spacing, Times New Roman, 12-point font. The final reflection paper will be graded on the application of specific course concepts to future professional practices, the accuracy and thoughtfulness with which you carry out these tasks, and the quality of your writing.
