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 […]

Final draft is done, moving on to final presentation
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 […]
Cutting the fluff and cover letter stuff
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.

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 […]
Hitting Walls and Bouncing Back
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 […]
Design Thinking and how it applied to our first group meeting
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 […]
