"Half-Way Reflection"

1.     ENT3003 can sometimes be overwhelming with the amount of assignments due per week. It is not just the assignments, but what is required from some of the assignments. From interviewing customers or entrepreneurs, but at the same time, the course is rewarding. As a student, you are not just reading a textbook and learning the vocabulary, you are actually going out into the community and making the most of the assignments. One of the skills I was able to learn from the course is time management, which was something I was not the best at, but with this course I was able to commit to a schedule to turn in each assignment on time. You as a student are responsible for your own grade, which was what I respected the most from this class.

2.     Up to this moment, there was never a moment where I wanted to give up. From the beginning of the semester, I was committed to this class. This was a course I would have never taken before, but I decided that I wanted to take a chance and step out of my own comfort zone, and that has kept me going from day one.

3.     Three tips I can offer future students are the following:

a.     Create a schedule of the assignment deadlines, this will help you time manage, and also feel less overwhelming.

b.     Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. As an introvert, interviewing random people was very difficult, but after my first set of interviews, I felt comfortable going out to the gator community to do my interviews.

c.     Don’t give up!

                                               i.     This class is very rewarding, and you need to experience all the assignments that require you to go out into the community. It can be scary, but experience makes perfect, and that experience can help you grow as a professional and as a human being.
