The whole semester was a very interesting experience. It was
sometimes very difficult for me because I was studying abroad in Madrid, but
the experience as a whole was a positive one. Many of the assignments required
you to either think critically or demonstrate good communication skills.
I think the most formative and memorable experience was
conducting all the interviews and being able to gather so much information from
people. Not only did it help me feel a lot more comfortable interviewing
people, but it also helped me learn how to properly interview someone. It also
required the most motivation and courage because you had to go out of your way
to talk to someone.
I am probably the most proud of the venture concept
assignments because it forced me to form and develop a complete idea. I had to
sit down and solve any issues in my path while I organized an idea that was
conceivable and effective.
Now I feel a lot more like an entrepreneur because of all
the skills that I had to develop over the semester. But I think I still have a
lot to do to develop the entrepreneurial mindset.
I recommend that future students take the assignments
seriously and put in enough effort into their venture idea. If you develop your
ideas seriously it will make the assignments easier and you will get a lot more
out of the course. I think that the work you put into the course really shows
at the end of the semester.
Yea picking the right venture concept is very important for this class. Something people need to realize is that you will be working on that concept for the majority of the class so once you pick it, you gotta stick to it so make it count. The interviews were a very interesting part as well. You should check out my reflection on the matter.

Hi Juan!
ReplyDeleteStudying abroad definitely must have made completing the assignments a little more difficult but at the same time you gained so much experience through this class and being in another country. I agree that future students should take this class seriously, especially when deciding what product or service they want to create. For me, it was hard to come up with something but once I did I was happy to work with it for the semester. Here is the link to my post: http://myent3003blog.blogspot.com/2016/04/final-reflection.html
Hi Juan,
ReplyDeleteYou are the first person that I have heard is taking this class abroad, and unless you are fluent in Spanish I am assuming some of the assignments were pretty difficult. However, I'm sure this made your course experience interesting. I agree with what you said about the venture concept assignments, they too were my favorite to complete.
