Final Reflection

1. Reading back over my blog posts, It was interesting to see which ones I remembered as being somewhat fun and which ones I dreaded. I remember a really strong feeling of accomplishment when I came up with an idea and realized it hadn't been implemented yet, and that it was something extremely relevant to me. I remember absolutely dreading the reading reflections or the assignments that required multiple interviews. After a few of them, I began running out of people to interview and didn't have the desire or time to go meet new people to interview.

2. The most formative experience for me was teaching myself how to speak and convey what I meant. Listening to recordings of my interviews allowed me to pick up on things to change with what I say and how I say it. My goal the past year has been to improve my professional communication skills and some of the assignments really helped with that.

3. I wouldn't say I see myself as an entrepreneur. I understand the process much better, but I don't have that itch to continue finding new markets to exploit. My career goals lie somewhere else. I may one day want to start a business withing my field, but not necessarily a new or creative idea.

4. I would recommend students taking this course really understand how much of a time commitment it is. At first when you think no exams, you think easier class. While the class wasn't hard, not having time or resources to perform some of the interviews really sets you back. I'd also say that just because you fell behind, you need to pick back up. I fell behind and just stayed there and I wish I would've continued working harder. This class requires planning ahead and going out of your comfort zone, so my advice is to be ready for that.
