Assessment 2: Reflective writing – Learning plan for developing one negotiation skill

You are required to develop a personal development plan illustrating a key negotiation skill you would like to further develop. The goal of this project is to make you aware of a negotiation skill you would like to acquire and help identify a learning path that makes sense to you during and after this unit is completed.

 

The development of intercultural competence, or the negotiation skills to work effectively across cultures, should be a lifelong goal and requires major work and commitment. The design of this this assessment is based on the premise that intercultural negotiation skills are best developed through reflection on information and experience. Thus, as a student, it is critical that you take responsibility for your own learning.

 

This assessment is based on the development of a learning plan. A learning plan will identify:

·      Which negotiating skill you want to develop yourself, and why?

·      How do you plan to acquire this negotiating skill?

·      How will you know / how can you measure whether you have succeeded and actually acquired that skill?

In other words, you will need to identify one learning objective, identify a strategy to achieve this objective, and evaluate your progress.

 

Reflective writing constitutes a particular type of writing and is quite different to writing a report. We will be discussing approaches to reflective writing in class to support you with the writing of your learning plan.
