1) Read through your posts from this semester. Recall all of the experiences you've had a long the way -- the highs, the lows -- the fun moments, and the moments of drudgery, and even the moments of dread.
There were not that many fun moments from this passed year. The weirdly specific grading policies and deadlines were difficult at times. However, it may seem like a "necessary evil" with an online class of this size. The lectures did have a fun quality to them sometimes and were informative (my hometown even got shouted out once, yay Ponte Vedra!). Either way, I'm glad to have taken this course because at the very least, it taught me not to miss a deadline, even if it is at noon.
2) What sticks out to you as the most formative experience? The experience that you'll remember years later? What was your most joyous experience? What experience are you most proud of yourself for accomplishing?
The most formative expereince was interviewing other people and being professional in that context. I think moving forward, that will be the most useful experience for me. I am most proud of remembering the noon deadline most of the time. Years later, I'll remember some random anecdotes Pryor mentioned in class because he has the most zany stories/examples.
3) At the beginning of the semester, I mentioned that I wanted each of you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Now, at the end, do you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Do you think you have moved closer to developing an entrepreneurial mindset?
I can see myself as an entrepreneur. I think most certainly, being an entrepreneur is mostly the mindset. Dedication and hard work, alongside maybe a good idea and just some blind luck, involve the greatest characteristics of a successful entrepreneur.
4) What is the one recommendation you would make to the students who are going to journey down this path in the future? What would you recommend they do to perform best in this course? What would you recommend they do to foster that mindset?
Be timely! There's a lot of work, so stay on schedule. Remember your deadlines, and if you have a genuine life emergecy, file with the dean's office because that's the only way you'll get any reprieve! Either way, good luck. Pryor's a good teacher. Be diligent.
(This is a joke, your lectures very follow-able)

Hi Kelly! We made it to the end of the semester! I enjoyed reading your blog post for your final reflection. I also thought the lectures were fun to watch, and my hometown (Vero Beach) also got a shoutout! I agree with you that it is important to have good time management skills when taking this course. This was one of my key takeaways from my experience in ENT3003 because the due dates are different from other courses. I enjoyed being in your blog group this semester, and I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the semester is over! I really enjoyed reading this blog post for the final reflection. I thought that the assignments could get a little tedious at times. I agree that the deadlines are super important in this class. Being an entrepreneur is definitely the mindset, at least I think so. I wish you the best of luck in your future!
