Final Reflection
1) Read through your blog from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.
2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. And we repeated the mantra -- I am an entrepreneur. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
4) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
2. I think for me the most formative experience was either the Free Money assignement or the Customer Interviews. Both of these were formative because I never have had to really do something like that, so they provided me a completely new experience. Those are also the assignments that I will remember years later. I am proud that I accomplished the customer interviews and the elevator pitches because they provided me great experience.
3. I do see myself as an entrepreneur. I think that this course has really helped me look at things in a new entrepreneurial perspective. This course has also helped me gain the experience in making business plans, pitches, etc. So, when I do create a business, I will have those skills.
4. One recommendation I would make to students who are going to participate in this course would be to manage your time wisely and plan ahead. This class takes a lot of effort with the assignments, so if you wait until it is too late, you can definitely miss homework. I would recommend that they look at each assignment as a learning experience as well.
