1) The most formative experience was definitely trying to come up with an opportunity to pursue for the semester. I have never thought outside of the box like that and have never had experience with entrepreneurial thinking. It was an interesting learning experience. To be completely honest, I am most proud of taking an online class during my last semester of college. Staying in "school mode" is difficult enough when you see the light at the end of the tunnel (graduation) but I think I managed to stay on track and take this class seriously enough.
3) I think I have learned some techniques of an entrepreneur that I will be able to adapt to my future career, but I don't think I consider myself a true entrepreneur yet. I'm definitely moving in that direction.
4) I would mention to future students to try to be as creative as possible when approaching this class. I had a hard time at first coming up with ideas for my opportunity, mainly because I was stuck in a box and not trying to think creatively. It became much easier when I took a step back and thought of things that didn't just affect me directly. It was more fun for me to complete the assignments once I found an idea that I enjoyed researching and thinking about.
Hey Meredith,
ReplyDeleteI agree this class made us think outside the box, but I think that's what taught us to get into an entrepreneurial mindset. Congrats on graduating, I definitely believe an online class is a much different experience than a traditional sit in class. Best of luck to you after you graduate and don't forget to use what you learned from this class.
Meredith,
ReplyDeleteI also found the initial decision to be very difficult. I have many passions that could have been pursued. I am glad that you picked something so important. It also seems like you have a passion for being an entrepreneur so that should help you in the future. Congrats on graduating and good luck on your future endeavors. Keep pursuing your ideas because they are good.
