That one blog where I talk about the business things.
Here it is. The end of the term. BA 352 has come and gone, so now it’s time to look back on what exactly I did, what I learned, and how it affected me. My leadership development goals this term were to be more empathetic (emotional intelligence) and to shut down ideas much less often […]
Punctuality: 7/10 I feel I deserve 7 out of 10 points in this category because I was on time to every lecture and group meeting, but I really messed up my scheduling with my GTF for the resume feedback and I also promised Professor Bramhall I would email him and I failed to do so […]
The proposal is complete. We’re completely done with it. It’s turned in and it looks really really really really good. Now that we’re done with that, we’re moving right on to do… another presentation. There’s just no end. Snarky comments aside, I’m looking forward to this presentation. The first presentation was completely done without any […]
This week we learned how to write a cover letter in lecture. I’m pretty excited about this, considering I had NO idea what a cover letter really was before-hand. Kind of interesting how you’re supposed to tailor your resume and your cover letter to each specific job you apply to. We also learned how to […]
This week the main things we did in class were our peer reviews and our prototypes. I’ll talk about the boring one first. The prototype went well! We got exactly the feedback we hoped we’d get and gained some solid insight on how to really structure our program. Kinda bummed we didn’t get to film […]
This Monday we finally presented for the class. It went incredibly well. Li absolutely killed it with her hook and conclusion. Now we’re moving on to writing a first draft for our proposal. It’ll be very interesting to see how we work out how to write a report as a group this weekend. Writing as […]
After going back to the drawing board, our team finally figured out a need for LCB students: International students need more academic help than they’re getting. This was a huge success for us, seeing as this week we have been assigned to do a sort of pre-proposal presentation on our need. We’ve already met once […]
This week, while trying to discover insights to students needs after interviewing them, we finally came to the conclusion after hitting wall after wall when trying to think of ideas, that we needed to go back to the drawing board and come up with a need statement. We’ll be meeting all weekend to get back […]
In class this week we learned about Design Thinking. We had to design something for a random partner that would cater to their specific needs while carrying things to class. We first started discussing it as a backpack, so almost everyone made either a backpack or a satchel of some kind. This is not at […]
Pretty well so far! Thank you for asking, anonymous asker who is so clearly interested in my life. I’m actually kind of excited to be treated like a professional instead of a student for once. Typing single space papers, being concise, learning how to better interact with people in a professional setting – all very […]
