I would not say that I could pinpoint any assignment to be
the most formative experience. I would say that doing the interviews helped me
to get new ideas and redefined what I needed to create and look for. It also
helped me to feel comfortable talking about my idea and gave me insight on the
best ways to explain it to someone.
The experience I will remember years from now is the absurdity
of having to do three of these assignments a week and a cupcake quiz. It was hard enough to be able
to complete three assignments, but some of the assignments needed to be planned
for and would not be possible to complete last minute. In one of my previous
posts, I noted that planning is essential for this course. The cupcakes did not seem like a good way to enhance learning in this class. They focused more on specific moments or topics covered but did not seem to focus on the overall takeaways from Dr. Pryor's lectures.
My most joyous experience
is the one I am having right now knowing that this is going to be my last post
for this class. This class requires a lot of writing and I am glad that I was able to make it this far.
I am proud of completing as many assignments as I did. I had
no intention of doing every single one and I didn’t. I am proud that I should
still be able to get an A in this course knowing that I wasn’t going to have to
do every single assignment.
I think that the entrepreneurial mindset has become real for
me. I am constantly thinking about the way things are done around me and how I can
make it better for the people who need it! It has caused me to think about
things from all perspectives when making decisions about how to do things.
One recommendation I would make to future students is to
always plan and view assignments early so that you know what you will need to
do in order to get it done on time. In order to foster this mindset, do not be
afraid to come out of your comfort zone and feel embarrassed. Always have a
willingness to try!
Hi Matt! I agree that writing this last post was a really good feeling. Its over! I also agree with you that the cupcakes did not really do much for me because i remembered the takeaways and it was hard for me to remember the exact words he said. Towards the end, I stopped taking them completely. I also told future students to have a plan and step out of the box! Overall, great post!
ReplyDeleteHello Matt, Great post! I definitely agree with planning ahead for this course, there was a couple of times when I should have started earlier in the week and I would be running around trying to get people to interview in order to get my post done in time. I also agree with your point on the cupcakes because they did seem to be focused on things that were briefly spoken on in class and not focused on overall views. Great Job!
