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.
