14A- Halfway Reflection






1) when trying to complete assignments for this course you really have to step outside of your comfort zone and tackle the assignment. I have definitely learned to think outside the box when it comes to the assignments in this class. Thinking of solutions to problems is not as easy as it looks

2) There have definitely been times in this class when I have wanted to give up because coming up with ideas can be very tricky. Entrepreneurs see the world through a different lens and it has definitely been challenging trying to think like an entrepreneur. When it comes to thinking of a problem and a solution it is very easy to just say that it will work, however, a lot of ideas end up failing so this class really makes you think, will this work? will people buy this idea?

3) Some tips that I would give next semesters students would definite be to keep up with the lectures, if you are not attending class. Everything is taught in lecture so without those you have nothing. Another tip would be to get ahead on assignments if possible, some of the assignments take longer than others, for example the interviews, you do not want to wait till the last minute to do those. The last tip I would give is to go outside of your comfort zone, this is not real live, however, if you think about it like it is, your ideas and solutions will be much more realistic.

    Hey Elizabeth! I really agree that we can develop the ability to think outside the box because it's quite hard to come up with ideas and I always struggle with coming up with ideas to finish assignments. Also, I agree that we can develop the ability to think analytically because entrepreneurship needs a lot of creativity and analytical thinking. For me, I think I could go outside of my comfort zone like you did. Good post!

    Hey Taylor, nice post. I thought your tips for success were practical and relevant. This class becomes much easier when you keep up with the lectures, and pacing yourself with the assignments is a good idea. I wish I would have known this when I started the class, and would recommend this advice to not only students of this class in particular, but to any student in a "pace yourself" type of class. I could also relate to your comments on your "comfort zone". I think this class challenges you to think harder and longer than many other classes, and this is a skill that is overlooked. Thanks for the post!

    Hey Taylor,
    I completely agree with what you said about having to get out of your comfort zone for this course. Before this course, I would have never willingly gone out to conduct interviews with strangers as I am extremely introverted. However, due to the design of this course and its assignments, I have become accustomed to it. Although I didn’t particularly enjoy it, I feel that it’s for the better.

    Great work!

Assignment 26A- Celebrating Failure

1) For this specific assignment, I would like to think outside the box. I want to think outside of this class, because although I have failed and made mistakes in this class, the world is bigger than just school. At the beginning of this semester I was failing a lot when it came to finding a place of employment. I went from place to place with a resume just begging for an interview. I tried for many weeks for someone to just give me a chance. Eventually an opportunity came up and I am very grateful for that. 2) I learned a lot from this failure that I experienced. When I was in high school and living at home, I had jobs but I never had to put myself out there to get them because they were friends of friends and I had never even had to sit for an interview. I learned from this experience that finding a place of work can be extremely difficult, because not everyone is looking to hire at that particular moment and not everyone is going to like you. While, yes it was nice to be able to w...

Assignment 27A- Reading Reflection No.3

Thinking, Fast and Slow By: Daniel Kahnman 1) what was the general theme or argument of the book? The general theme of this book discussed the different ways that people think and make discussions. This book give tips on how to get better at decision making. This book goes in depth and explains why people make decisions differently. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? I think this book helped me in ENT3003, because this class requires you to be creative. In this class there are many different assignments that require you as an individual to think outside the box. It was interesting to see in this class to see how each individual chose to complete their assignment, everyone was very different in how they chose to pick their problem and solve it.  3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? If I were to make an assignment...
