1. Reading through my past blog posts, its strange to see
how far along I’ve come. I started very weary of this class, especially since
it’s not like traditional classes. I
wasn’t sure what it would be like to have a class with no exams, but overall I
can say I enjoyed it. I think in a sense a learning style like this is more
effective than traditional learning, where I’ve often found myself cramming for
a test just to forget all the information as soon as the exam is over.
2. I’d say an experience that I will remember far after this course is over would be when we had to give away five dollars. I was discouraged because people were looking at me strange and didn’t want to take my money, but I stuck with it ended up giving them all away. The experience I most enjoyed was really just the process of coming up with a business idea and then expanding it. It gave me a better sense of the work that actually has to go behind a business. I also read almost every chapter of Kuratkos book, which I found really informative. I think the book
3. I definitely think that by the end of this course I have moved closer to the entrepreneurial mindset. I am much more open to the idea of owning my own business, and while it might not be the business venture I came up with in this class that I end up going for, I feel that down the line I will definitely own my own business.
4. One recommendation I have for students who are planning to take ent3003 in the future is to just keep an open mind and stay on track. It is easy to fall behind so you have to make sure you’re getting your assignments done. Also just to enjoy the experience instead of looking at is as work. In this class since you may have to do things that are outside of your comfort zone you just have to keep an open mind and don’t get discouraged!
