I like diversity in course offerings. That's not the same thing as liking courses that supposedly teach diversity.
I don't want a world in which every college student learns the same thing. As such I reject the idea of a core curriculum.
Probably courses that don't use textbooks but that do exercises with strong emotional engagement.
I was at personal development seminars where at the end of the day some people lie on the floor because of emotional exhaustion. I think doing a lot of deep inner work brings higher returns than learning intellectual theory.
How djd he came to that conclusion? Has the amount that the person pays for the average thing he buys gone down because he has become much better at negotiating?
I only took one class in communications so I don't understand the field too well. The class itself seemed useful, but there was no mention of negotiation strategies. It would seem more likely that better negotiation leads to more offers than that better negotiation leads to a better offer. A smart businessman is going to know how to value the deal, and it's going to be hard to significantly change his price.
What practical effect did it have that make you consider it to be useful?
If you buy a car in many cases a person with good negotating skills can achieve a better price.
