REQUIRED READING: Art of the Start Authors: Guy Kawasaki Publisher: Penguin ISBN # 9781591840565

THE GOAL: The purpose of this report is to allow students a chance to reflect and reinforce what they have learned through self-examination. The report will be an opportunity to share personal experiences and opinions, as they pertain to the topic discussed, but will require reading, research and the use of concrete examples and support. This type of report is intended to afford an opportunity to synthesize the theoretical knowledge gained from the reading and coursework, with the applied experiences that pertain to students’ individual entrepreneurial journeys and ventures. The time students spend studying the principles of entrepreneurship is intended to provide the skills and understanding necessary to pursue individual entrepreneurial goals and ventures.

THE REPORT: Each student will prepare an individual Term End Reflection Report to submit through the designated drop box within the course. The expectation is that the report will be developed over the course of the semester and pertain to the assigned reading in the book. The book, The Art of the Start, is required reading and the spring board for the reflection report. The purpose of this Term End Reflection Report is to evaluate and reflect on the overall experience of the book and explain what it taught you about yourself.

INSTRUCTIONS: Read the required book and write about the experience and what the book taught you about yourself. Take notes while you are reading the book to develop a list of thoughts and feelings that you experience or attitudes of yours that have changed as a result of your reading. Conduct additional research outside the book to support your new or existing positions. Keep track of your sources to site in your final paper (minimum three additional sources). Compare your experience of reading the book with your prior knowledge. Experiences will be analyzed according to theoretical concepts and there needs to be discussion and illustration of how they conformed or diverged from the theoretical expectations.
