The skills and knowledge I learned in this course were based on why I chose my major and how it is important in the world we live in today. When I learned more about my major it made me want to study harder in class because being part of a company or owning your own is not easy. I realize that there are big issues that many business people have to overcome to keep their jobs. Even if employees of a company work efficiently, they are always at risk of losing their jobs if the company they are working for decreases in sales and has to lay off employees to stay running. I learned that my major in Business Administration takes a lot more than a great smile and a hand shake when I move on to a career and it is going to be tough and I gained knowledge …show more content…
I didn’t listen. Soon after I received my grade the teacher gave me a “C” and commented on my assignment, saying that the paper I wrote was an informative essay. After that grade I asked more questions in class a little more often and I tried harder to listen to the lectures in class but it was very difficult considering I have ADHD and I was hard-headed at the same time. I thought I knew everything so in the peer reviews I listened to what the group was talking about but I still really didn’t go out of my way to get help. After I submitted my Reporting Information assignment I got another “C” because I had written a Textual Analysis. At this point of the semester I knew I had to do something so I became more involved in class by asking the teacher questions and I learned how to structure my papers from the online rubrics so I began to do fairly well. After class I would ask as many questions as I could to my classmates and my teacher through emails because I wanted to apply myself more than I was selling myself
I found this case study particularly interesting; in retrospect this class would have been extremely helpful prior to starting my husband’s business. I now see the importance of having a clear financial plan and projection, along with a strong command of your market share. My husband and I have been able to muddle through the areas were did not know or understand in running a business, but prior knowledge would have been a valuable
Therefore, I hope that I can achieve many new valuable experiences as well as friendships through this class. As a student, I believe I have the responsibilities to pay attention in class, and contribute to the class as much as I can. Besides, I need to ensure that I finish homework before coming to class and seek for help when needed. My goal is to become a successful business woman, who has the opportunities to work with different countries and cultures around the world. I am confident that this class will help improving my analytical and organizing skills, which are helpful and beneficial for my career in the
With college right around the corner and taking a college course gave a real sense of how college classes are going to work giving me an edge over all of the other students going to college that didn’t take a dual enrollment course. Dual enrollment was honestly one of the best decisions I made in my academic career because like what I was saying this class taught me the inner workings of how most assignment are going to be turned in, what it means to be self-reliant/ on your own have no help with assignment from your parents, experiencing a course that only a handful of assignment rather than a ton of assignment ends up making up over eighty percent of your grade (getting you to work extra hard so you won’t fail) and finally that you have to actually interact with the professor/teacher if you need help or are having trouble with an
I believe the course fulfilled my expectations and went beyond by giving me clearer understanding of the concepts through practical examples. The study of basic business law, in my opinion, is necessary for not just business students but every individual because it helps them identify their rights as well, violation of which can be reported to the authorities. As an international student, I believe an understanding of the legal system of the US was of more value to me because it helped me differentiate between the laws of my home country and the US. I believe I am now in a better position to remain within the legal boundaries in my personal as well as professional
Summer vacation, and school ends for about three months, and then you have as much fun as you can, then back to school… right? Well I had to go to summer school, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Everything was going fine, I had a job after summer school, and that was going fine as well. They say that summer is supposed to be fun and exciting, and it usually is for me and my family. However in July my father started coughing up blood. My father usually doesn’t make it his top priority to go to the doctors, so he waited about four weeks until he really didn’t feel good.
My freshman seminar class hitherto has been good. In this class I have been learning about various topics. These topics fall into helping us for high school and preparing us for the future. These topics was important and necessary because they helped us to avoid from not being successful. One of the topics we have recently accomplished was budgeting.
Job interviews were also a very important thing that this course whent over. It went over how to make a resume and cover page, what types of word choices to use, and of course gave us a look into what an interview would look like. Overall, by learning all of these small, but widely important facts, this course may have very well changed my future and set me up for a long lasting, and very important
I am one of those guys that like to make the world a better place so I feel like if I used what I learned from business simulation I can help make the world a better place for sure. A major key to success for me is making sure the world is a better place so I feel like if I can open more businesses in the future I am changing the world because that will give people who don’t have a job something to do. The biggest thing that I learned from doing the module was managing your products for me that is a big key if you want to have a business because you have to make sure your business is heading the right direction. Like I said before what I can do with what I learned from this class is just to open up my own business because I feel like I can do that. I just need to be that one businessman that can change people life in so many ways by giving them jobs or just making sure they are taking care of. With what I learned in business simulation I can put it to use by opening up my own business even it is not a big business I want to open up something that I will put money in my pocket and also a business that will help me send to my family that living in Africa. They are depending on me so much so I feel like if I don’t have a business to support them let them down. That one of reason why I am taking business so I can just let my mother
During this class, I realized that in order to succeed I need to put effort into studying and retaining important information that I am prompted with. Now, I try to focus in class, take adequate notes for information that I do not know, and do all my work as soon as possible without procrastinating. In doing this, I have greatly improved my
There is a point in everyone’s life when they step back and realize “I can’t do this anymore, it’s ruining my life”. Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking. The amount of partying I’ve done in college has taken over my life, and has had a huge impact on my grades. Changing my drinking habits and continuing to avoid cigarettes will enable me to be the best I can be for the rest of my college experience.
I remember English class in high school and I thought it would be the same information so this class would just be a review and the hardest assignment would be to write a one page essay. I thought I could write any paper and make a A on it. As the time went by I realize this was not true. I started working on my attitude towards the class, what I learned and my weakness.
This course has helped me in many ways, especially time management, health, and money. Instead of having a very relaxing week and then panicking at the end of the week when everything is due, this course has helped me to plan out my studies. Planning them out helps me produce higher quality work and assists me with my stress problem. One thing that has helped a lot is getting short easy assignments or parts of assignments done in short periods of extra time I have. For example, instead of turning on that TV, wait ten minutes and knock out an assignment. Another asset for myself has been setting dates to have assignments done. Although these assignments may not be due on that day, getting them done and out of the way, makes more time for other
Taking this class this semester has really changed the way that I have viewed myself when it has come to work and the different companies that I have worked before. I have taken a psychology class before but I have never taken one that relates to management and organizations. This class has really helped me answer different questions such as why I was unhappy at some jobs, enjoyed some managers over others, and what motivated me to work hard at jobs. It’s good to learn that there are different terms and definitions for different feeling and things I experienced at jobs to know that their other people experiencing these things also. I will be going into a management position after I graduate, and this class helped me to learn many different ways to go about managing and things to avoid to keep a positive working environment.
I took this class because it aligns with other studies I have done. I have completed life coaching certificates and other psychology and mental classes. My expectations for this class are to learn what it means to educate and be educated. In life and business, I can see where understanding individual and/or group motivations can help show the bigger picture and give ideas on how to proceed.
In terms of Personal Development I feel that the course has helped me to develop the skills I need to improve my grades, and to build my confidence.
