To a future student on this class, I would recommend keeping a calendar of every assignment that is due, that would keep them from scrambling last minute to do an assignment. I've felt like giving up before when faced when a difficult assignment that would require me to get out of my comfort zone and talk to strangers on the street. Staying determined and keeping an open mind to new experiences is what pulled me through this situation, and helped me develop a tenacious attitude over the past few months.
If I was to give 3 tips, I would say:
1) Keep a schedule and a specific time each week to do assignments, readings, etc.
2) Keep an open mind and be willing to do new things.
3) Analyze what your doing and how it will help you develop important entrepreneur skills for your future.

ReplyDeleteYour comments on the class so far are almost the same as mine because I too, feel like you have to be extremely organized to be successful in the course. However, I like how you put as one of your tips, "keep an open mind and be willing to do new things" because that is something that I have refused to do. I've avoided certain assignments and made up the points with extra credit just because I hate approaching strangers. At least we're almost done!

Jordan,
ReplyDeleteI agree with both you and Natalie. There are times I was frustrated with the course because I've not been completely engaged in some of the assignments. Like Natalie, I've avoided certain assignments. Asking people to record them wasn't a fun convo to have. I think all of your recommendations were great! They're very similar to mine. I do love the format of this course though and I've really enjoyed that.
