1) Looking back at all of my blog posts I am so surprised and overwhelmed to see so many assignments. This semester we did so much, more than I have ever realized. Looking back on my very first post almost made me tear up, because I can't believe how far I have come. Some of my best moments throughout this semester would be my introduction post, my venture concept post, and the overall design and organization of my blog. I really like the pictures I chose to put on some posts, and the theme I chose for the overall feel of the blog. Some of my worse moments include pretty much all of my interviewing posts. I did get better at doing interviews, but I still always felt kind of weird and unnatural.2) The thing I will remember most from this class would its not normal format. In no other class will I have to do the things I've done in this class, and it makes me kind of sad. The things we had to do for this class made us get out of our comfort zones and actually go into the real world. I think that these qualities are so much more valuable then just reading and being tested on memorized information.
3) I have learned a lot from this semester, and although I wouldn't say I fully see myself as an entrepreneur- I am definitely on my way. I have gained so much more confidence in my abilities after this class, and it has truly caused me to step out of my comfort zone and think outside of the box. I am definitely much closer to that entrepreneur mindset than I was before, and I could not be more glad that I decided to take this class.
4) I would tell a future student to get excited but to be prepared to work a lot. This class (like all other classes) requires you to be very organized, manage your time, and be an effective communicator. I would also encourage prospective students to really indulge in the assignments and not to just do the bare minimum. In order to perform to the best of your abilities just keep track of all of the assignments and make sure you are putting forth 110% of your effort. In order to foster an entreprenuerial mindset I would definitely say to take every assignment and try to once again, truly indulge yourself. The more you get into the class the more you will get out of it!
Hi Cassidy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of your advice to future students. Specifically, that they will get out of the course what they put in. Instead of just skating by and doing the bare minimum, students can really grow and learn if they make a concerted effort to do the assignments with passion and effort. As you said, this class really makes you get out of your comfort zone, and after the initial shock, it was quite a bit of fun.
Thanks for sharing! Here's a link to my post. http://jamestyrrell.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-relfection.html
Hi Cassidy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that this class will be memorable because it is different from all of our "normal" classes. I also like your advice that you gave for future students, that advice wouldve helped me a lot. At the beginning of the semester I didn't put my time into this class and didn't really care and now I regret it. Check out my blog at http://daviddo-uf.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-reflection.html
Hi Cassidy, I really enjoyed your post. I felt almost the exact same way you did about this class. Some of the experiences were so much more rewarding than you would get in a regular course format. I'm glad you're on your way to being an entrepreneur and I hope soon enough you'll truly get there!
