14A – Halfway Reflection


I have always had an issue with keeping up with assignment deadlines, so I made it my goal to do assignments ahead of time. Typically, when I am on campus and waiting in between classes or going to work I write my blogs. This is more productive because I know when I get home I am going to slack off or focus on other classes (like my finance course).

I remember when I had my first round of exams this semester I was very swamped with work. A lot of my classes typically have deadlines on Fridays and Sundays. When I was studying, I was debating on whether I should write my blog post for the week. In the end, I just pushed through it because I know at the end of the semester it would be worth it when I get the A.

Three tips to being successful in ENT3003 are keeping up with deadline, plan before writing blog posts (because some are very detailed), and don’t think short term. I tend to think of things in the short run and not in the long run. I often regret my performances in classes because I tend to put things off till the last minute and not have enough time. So, think ahead of time is my biggest piece of advice for this sort of course.

    Hey Nick,

    I think it is good you made a goal to keep up with your assignments ahead of time. I know how easy it is to procrastinate and doing things in advance really helps avoid that. I think your tips for being successful in ENT3003 are very good. One of my biggest issues with this class is doing things the weekend before things are due and it makes it awfully difficult. It doesn't help that this is the busiest semester I have ever had but your suggestion of thinking ahead is a great idea. Good job and keep up the good work!

    Hey Nick, I think it is such a good idea to write your blog posts while on campus. I struggle with the same problem. When I am at my apartment, I can get lazy. You are right, these blog posts can be detailed and require more than one days of work. I think you did a great job with coming up with the course tips. Good job!

    Hey Nick, I agree with you 100% that its a good idea to do all your assignments while you have time on campus in between classes or what not. Like you I have to get everything done before I go home because I won't want to do anything when I get home. The blogposts, at times can be time consuming and might seem more of a burden then it might be helping you but in the end, like you said, it will be beneficial to you.

30A – Final Reflection

The experience that sticks out most to be is the entire class to be honest. Throughout the whole semester I had to think critically about what I wanted to do for a business. I went through all sorts of thoughts processes in order to come up with a company that could hit the market now. I am also proud that I was able to do all of the assignments on time and correctly to receive full points. I think I have an entrepreneurial mindset after taking this class. I try ever day to think outside of the box and figure out ways to improve tasks. This has gone into my actual job on campus as well. I try to figure out ways to make the IT department more efficient. The main thing I would recommend for students who take this class is to take it seriously and do the work. All of the assignments teach you something different and new that you may have not experienced before. I believe all of the assignments are tied together to fostering the entrepreneurial mindset. In addition, I would say u...

25A – What’s Next?

Existing market: I think the next thing for my service is physically getting it going. There is nothing like my service in the market right now. All three of my interviewees stated that the next step is for me to form the company because others get into the market. The health care industry is changing fast and their will be competitors soon. I think to grow my service in the new market is very possible. There are not a lot of competitors right now, so we can set the standard for prices and service packages. We can start in urban areas and move our way into more rural areas once we get a foundation set. Companies are always trying to find way to decrease turnover rates. With my service they will be able to do this easily because their employees will feel they are cared about more since they will have benefits they did not have before. They will stay with the company longer because they will see them in a new light. New Market: I feel if I targeted an older demographic my c...
