3. Review of course (See Course Outline, Class Participation, Preliminary Schedule and Agendas and Assignments).

4. Three books are required reading and available from the UBC Bookstore:

• Getting To Yes
• Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making
• Everyday Negotiation

All other readings will be available through the course web site and accessed through the agenda for the relevant class.

Note this course has a relatively heavy reading and work load. This is deliberate and is designed to help you hone essential skills for coping with such pressures in academic and professional practice. Also note that you will need to do the preparatory readings if you are to be able to participate in each class. Every class will involve each of you in discussions of what you have read and thought about.
