Scenario 1: You’re working on a team project and it’s not going that well. One person dominates the meetings while others are completely checked out. You’re worried this dynamic will negatively affect your grade. What do you do?

Scenario 2: Your roommate is driving you up the wall! They sleep when you’re awake and are up and making noise when you’re trying to get some rest. Their behaviors are completely incomprehensible to you and you’re fed up. What do you do?

If you’ve found yourself in situations like this since coming to MIT, this workshop is for you! Negotiation I for Undergraduates provides one hour of instruction and practice in planning and executing a successful collaborative negotiation process. Through interactive activities, participants will learn and exercise skills that are immediately applicable in their daily lives.
