30A – Final Reflection

1) I have to admit that some of these posts really did take a lot out of me and required me to really use some brain power. The lows that I experienced in this class was when I realized that I did not turn in an assignment or when I realized that I waited too long to begin an assignment. However, this got better when I started putting reminders on my phone. The highs of this class was reading all the feedback from my peers. I got to see what they actually took away from my posts and see what stuck out to them the most.

2) All the posts for this class really allowed me to display my creative side, which is not something I usually do. Creative thinking is extremely useful and important and this class taught me the benefits of it, so I think that is definitely something that I will cherish and take away from this class.

3) As I said before, we were really required to look at our business idea in a critical and creative manner, which is something that is required of entrepreneurs. I think this class really did help me to think and act more like an entrepreneur. Now, if I plan to be an entrepreneur in the future is a different question, but this class definitely helped me see that it is possible.

4) I would just encourage anyone who has the desire to be an entrepreneur to start planning now. Document and save everything down so you can see how your idea possible changed. Look to others for advice and feedback as different perspectives are necessary to develop the best idea. For this class, I would just advise students to take it seriously, start assignments early, and actually put some effort into it. The things you learn from yourself when doing these assignments are very rewarding so put your best foot forward when you are in this class.
