It might sound a little vain, but I really enjoyed the secret sauce assignment (16) where I had to interview the people who are closest to me and compare how I describe myself to how they describe me. I'm very proud and amazed at how they described me. They had a much more positive light with their comments than my own, but we were all correct I think. I'm also proud of the very first hypothesis test assignment, because I was able to learn about how some people out there run their finances- and it was even worse than I thought.
I have always seen myself as an entrepreneur without an idea. I'm still one of those, but know I know how I could develop and mold one if I got one.
I recommend that students in this class go all out and get into the assignments (treat this class as their venture, because it basically becomes that) and don't be shy to interview people, or to be ignored by people you try to contact. To foster the mindset, watch the dang lectures! They're entertaining!
Seems like you got a good insight on the secret sauce assignment which helped you with your final reflection. I had a similar recommendation to incoming students and become actively engaged in this course because you will not only complete your grade for it, but you will learn great learning skills, that are transferable. Maybe not everyone will be an entrepreneur, but having an entreprenurial mind is important.

ReplyDeleteI had some similar feedback on my final reflection. I to also listed my favorite as the “secret sauce” assignment. I received feedback from my piers that was way better than I thought. In contrast, I do not really see myself as an entrepreneur. I feel that I am much more suited to work for a small company and help develop ideas to increase their revenue. In all it was a fun class.
The secret sauce assignment was a fun one to do because you were able to see what those closest to you thought about you. I agree that for this class you should not be afraid to push your own boundaries. Getting out of your comfort zone helps you to become a better entrepreneur and grow. All in all it was a great class and everyone seems to have enjoyed it and learned a lot about the entrepreneurial mindset.
