1.) If there were couple things that I want to tell to new students coming into ENT3003, I’d tell them that the class is unlike any other class I have ever taken at University of Florida. Like the assignment says, being tenacious is very important in this class due to the number of assignments you have to keep up with day after day but also because it involves a significant amount of time completing some of them. In this course, the main key behaviors that is used is PERSISTANCE, OPEN MINDNESS, and PLANNING.
2.) During the two months in this course, I experienced and developed new attitudes about the world of entrepreneurship and in this course. In this course, there are some assignments that require you to step out of the comfort zone, recording yourself and or talk to random people. For me, public speaking and going out of my comfort zone was never my strong point so it took some courage to get myself started. In the beginning, I decided not to do some of the assignments but as more assignments were handed out, I realized I can’t run from them anymore and that I will just have to face my fears and do it. After my first posting of the Pitch, I began to enjoy the process of recording and now I don’t have a problem doing them. I look forward to the next couple months to see what new attitudes I will run into and overcome.
3.) I believe in this course, a tenacious mindset definitely helps with assignments required in this course. Being strong-willed and being persistent in this course will help you succeed in the class and in the real world. Being top of the calendar provided on canvas helps tremendously and every student should plan ahead of time so it does not conflict with your personal schedules. I think it is imperative that everyone try to do every assignment instead of skipping some due to it being more difficult of time consuming.
Definitely try to do the best that you can do on every assignment!
I agree with all three points you made. What really helped me with this class was managing my time. A lot of the assignments require more than an hour because they're interactive. I can honestly say that taking this class, along with my other classes and extra curricular activities helped me develop a tenacious mindset. I'm so glad you were able to go out of your comfort zone and actually enjoy public speaking now! Check out my blog post here: http://npc95.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html

ReplyDeleteHey Brian,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you say about persistence, open mindness and planning. The fact that you are able to do the assignments of this class months before the due date gives the students the possibility of planning and preparing to manage their time in a good way. I believe that this class has helped me develop my communication skills up to a point in which I am able speak to anyone about anything. I feel reflected with your last phrase and that is exactly what I recommend to future students!
Great analysis!
Take a look to my post and let me know what you think about it!
