Final Reflection (Assignment 30A)

1. This semester and specifically this class is one to remember. This was the first class I ever took that we did activities and things that really took you outside of the classroom and made you really interact with society, at the very least. It was so fun to interview all the people we had to and really get a sense of what problems there are in the world, and more importantly, how to have the mindset to see and approach these problems in the first place. However, there were some long, tedious assignments that were not very enjoyable, specifically the one where we had to record and upload interviews. The interviewing part wasn't even bad, it was just the fact that we had to use YouTube and, at least for me, I had so many problems and the assignment just became a hassle after a while.

2. One of the most memorable experiences I had for this class was the Bug List activity. For some reason, when I think of this class, I immediately think of that assignment and how interesting it was to really analyze problems the way we had to. It really made me listen to complaints and find problems from them and then solutions to them, in any situation I was in. I really think that that experience will stick with me forever and is one that I will use in the future for sure. The assignment I was most proud of this semester was the one that we had to interview people in our industry and related to our industry to make connections with. That really got me into the market of my business idea and from it, I truly made some really cool and beneficial relationships that I will definitely utilize in the future for one way or another.

3. As mentioned above, I definitely think that some of the assignments I did in this class changed my mindset on society and really made me think like an entrepreneur. As I live day-to-day, I am constantly on the lookout for problems I see people having, or ones that I have and think of something that could possibly be made to allow that given task to be easier. I am now always trying to talk to people that I think are skilled in an area that I will be involved in in the future, as I really realized how important networking is for business from this class. There were many other assignments I know were beneficial as well but I can't seem to think of them now.

4. For students coming into this class in future semesters, I would definitely make sure they were planning to keep a calendar of all the given assignments. Because this class is all online, staying on track was something that I definitely struggled with at the beginning of this semester. I would forget that there were assignments due and would forget how long they took individually. As the semester progressed, I learned to plan my time better and really take advantage of the assignments rather than just try and do them really fast.
