Half-Way Reflection:
As the past two months flew by, I learned new skills and critical thinking skills through this ENT3003 course. If you have any inclination to be an entrepreneur, follow it and take this course. Don't over-think it. And if you aren't thinking about becoming an entrepreneur, take this course. Yes, there are a lot of assignments and it can be time consuming and tedious but this class is not just teaching you material, this class is granting you the gift of experience. And I can not emphasize how important experience is when learning.
Throughout this course, my father being an entrepreneur himself, I didn't think there was much more I could learn since I already had an idea of what it was like to do things on your own. Yet, this class proved me wrong. And that's one thing I also learned in this class. It is ok to be wrong and it is ok to fail. As long as you learn from it and take from it, you are improving not only as an entrepreneur, but as a person. This class makes me check my email daily to constantly stay up to date with the class. Most classes I have, almost all of them actually, have only a few assignments that are weighed very heavily in final grade points. Thus, it's easy to slack off for weeks at a time before some big paper is due or there is some exam. However, this class makes you work. And makes you work every single day.
There were times where we had to turn in assignments that required recordings and I was having technical issues and I came to the conclusion that I was just not going to do it. It was too much of a trouble and I thought I would be ok with just taking the L on that assignment. However, despite my thoughts of giving up, I pulled through and used my friends phone to finish the assignment. If there's a will there's a way.
Now I will leave you with three short and simple tips for success in this course and success in life regarding the tenacious mindset:
1) Be aware of everything going on!
It's important to regularly check your emails, canvas, the news, and everything so you are conscious and aware of your life and the world around you.
2) Find a meaning behind everything.
Take something valuable out of each thing you do whether it involves a success or even failure.
3) You're not just here to work, have fun!
This is a fun class and this is a fun life. Find the balance between work and play.
I hope you enjoyed my post and overall I enjoy this class!
Hey Jessica,
ReplyDeleteFirst I have to say I love how organize your post is. It is easy to read and not heavy at all. I have to say you couldn't give better tips for this course because those are the main advises one can get. Be aware of everything, meaning one has to be constantly checking canvas, and messages from the teacher, not missing any blog post or declare! I have to say I like finding meanings to everything I do, so this, personally is the best advice I could give and get for and from anyone. And, well have fun. It makes everything better and not just an obligation! Great tips Jessica. please feel free to look my post and see if my tips could work for you as well. http://cabuawad.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
Hey Jessica! Like you, my father was also an entrepreneur, which, I think gave me a basis for understanding what it is like to be an entrepreneur. This class, however, expanded my knowledge of what it means so significantly. Thanks for sharing your tips for success! I think your first time is extremely important as keeping up is key and it is something I somewhat struggled with.

ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice in your post. I agree that this class is granting a good amount of experience, and it is up to each of us to decide how much we want to do with it. Parts of this course will definitely help with other parts of our daily lives without us even realizing it. Congratulations on an excellent point of view and some positive thoughts.
