Throughout this course, I learned many invaluable things that I can apply to numerous potential future endeavors. I am a very independent person so I thoroughly enjoyed the self-driven mode of learning that this class incorporated. I believe that the best way to learn is by doing. This class forced us to take initiative and real-life steps toward furthering our business idea. This was much more helpful, in my opinion, then simply learning through lectures. In addition to this, this course has also helped to strengthen my confidence as a potential future entrepreneur. I was pushed outside of my comfort zone between phone calls with competitors, email exchanges with the Baruch bookstore director, and our final presentation video. All of these assignments have helped prepare me for actions that I will need to take on my own. Also, since our project was centered around providing service to Baruch, it taught me how to really focus a business idea on the small scale first before trying to grow a product / service. I also very much enjoyed the assigned readings as I thought they were very informational and applicable to entrepreneurship / management as well. It prompted me to check the news more on my phone as well to ensure that I am staying up to date with current events and continuing to learn. Overall, this was a course that required self-motivation and hands on learning and it definitely fit my preferred style of learning.

Professor – I appreciate how available you made yourself to us, via office hours and email, and were always willing to give helpful advice. I was a bit off track in the beginning and was feeling very discouraged, but I am really grateful that you never made me feel bad for this but rather provided encouragement and helpful solutions. Thank you for a great semester, professor! I hope you have a nice summer.
