Halfway Reflection- Assignment 14A


1)    One behavior I have developed being in this class in particular is to check canvas on a regular basis. With announcement videos coming out every week and assignments due on Fridays and Mondays, checking canvas is something that really helps me to keep track of everything, specifically the calendar available. I also learned to watch lectures every day, since it is old lectures instead of twice a week, you are responsible to go back and watch the old lectures to prepare for the cupcakes throughout the semester. I found it easier to watch one or two a day so I know I am caught up with what I need to be when cupcakes come around. I also think it is super benefitable not to leave things to the last minute. Since it is a blog you can post your assignments at any time, for me I like to do the assignments ahead of time so I can focus on other things I need to do throughout the week.
2)    I would say there hasn’t been a point in this class or in this semester where I wanted to give up on anything. While I am spreading myself thin with classes, a job, and an internship this semester, it is all things that are going to benefit me in the future. If this class has taught me anything it is to push through and try, that is what it means to be an entrepreneur, you get back up and push through the hard times.

3)    One tip I would give students who will take this class in the future would be to go to the class if you actually have an idea or concept in mind for a product. With the new way that the class is set up, I think it is really great that our professor allows for students to come in and work through there idea with the help of the professor and other students. A second tip I would give to future students would be actually read the books assigned. I know it is three books and it might be a lot of reading to some people but I loved all three that I read and they all allowed me to gain a better and different understanding of work ethic, entrepreneurship, and motivation. The third tip I would give future students would be to be open to the feedback and thoughts that other students have through the peer reviews. These are other entrepreneurial students who are there to almost act as an unbiased third party to look over your idea and thoughts on your product.

  1. Hey Danielle! Great read! That is a really great quality to have, especially since you are balancing so much on your plate! But, anything is possible if you set your mind to it. I believe that you are right with being open to feedback of other students because it is just another opinion trying to help your idea out. Overall, great job! Missed seeing a picture though.

  2. Hello Danielle! First of all everything you are juggling is incredible! School is hard enough but also putting a job and internship on top of that is insane. I am sure time management is a must. I also agree on your tip for students to read. I have learned so much about myself by just reading our first book. I am honestly enjoying the process of being able to read a book, learn from it, and then analyze it. Really great advice, I hope it helps a student next semester.

  3. Hello again! I think the main common theme everyone is highlighting in thus course is the organization skills it teaches. It teaches very important skills that are useful not only in entrepreneurship, but in life as well. Organization and responsibility go hand in hand, and it shows even in this class.

  4. Hey Danielle! I think you did a great job on this halfway point. I was amazed by everything you are juggling and I applaud you for figuring out a way to manage it all. It goes to show that you are dedicated and you have such a drive to succeed. I agree that for future students they should come into this class with an idea of what product they want to pursue. With an idea that someone is passionate about and has some prior knowledge about this class would be more of an ease.

  5. Hey Danielle. I think you did a great job here with your halfway point through this class. In my post as well, I stated that I always need to be checking Canvas, in case anything is trying to sneak up on me that I do not know about. This class teaches prioritization and organization skills perfectly, and sets us up for success in the future. I am learning new things about myself each day and your post here today hit the nail on the head. Great work.
