    Brief excerpt from interview: As you meet people in the class, one of the things I always ask is where you are from . . .

    Brief excerpt from interview: One of the things that really surprised me in the course was we were watching a video on negotiation . . . one of the things that [Prof. Bhawuk] showed us was that actually a lot [of negotiations] were informal . . . over drinks, after work, where you are allowed to say whatever you want because you're drunk . . .
