I’ve been living in this country for three years now and in
August I will begin my senior year as a college student. I can say that the
college education in America varies from a community college level to a
University level, but both levels are really high in comparison to other
countries from the region. This being said, I took many types of classes, but
this class was different. ENT 3003 forced me to get out of my comfort zone in
all types of ways. The most formative experiences were the interviews and the
elevator pitch that we crafted through the entire semester. I enjoyed that
feeling of letting other people now about my ideas and contributions to this
amazing community. I am proud of crafting a possible solution for an unmet
need, I am proud of interviewing random people and keep working and asking
people even if I face rejection. I definitely
see myself as an entrepreneur, and I realize that I was already an entrepreneur
even before taking the class, I just didn’t know what an entrepreneur was.
I would recommend future students to avoid being afraid and
feel overwhelmed with all the assignments that this class has. I would recommend
them to do all the assignments as asked, because this is the only way they will
really learn. And last, I would let them know what this class has taught me,
that failure isn’t a bad thing, but failure is the only way to success.
I would recommend for the class to elaborate ways in which students
could work in groups and teams and collaborate each other, this will enhance
their entrepreneurial experiences.
ENT3003 is by far one of the best class I’ve had in college.
Good luck to everyone and have a wonderful life!
Hey Alejandro,
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great post! I highly agree that this class is much different than any other. I also like your recommendation of including more group or collaboration activities as teamwork is such a huge part of business and entrepreneurship as a whole. Overall, very good job!

I definitely agree with you that this class is far from the standard university course. I however cannot provide any insight on its comparison to classes outside of the country like you can. I also agree with you that this class has helped me quite a bit in dealing with rejection.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best.

I agree with you that this course is very different from what we are used to taking in college. A lot of what we were required to do has more to do with what we would be doing in the real world compared to the other classes that have you learn all the information just to take an exam and forget it the next day.

ReplyDeleteHey Alejandro,
ReplyDeleteI love hearing your perspective as a student from another country. I completely agree that this class was unique and brought us all out of our comfort zones. I also felt pretty accomplished when I would have to do assignments that I explained my venture to other students such as the interviews and the elevator pitches. I also like your advice for students to avoid becoming overwhelmed with certain assignments in this class.
