ENTRE 101 - Weekly Assignment

Welcome to Entrepreneurship 101. Below are the list of assignments for this week.
Assignments (1/4/2008)

Assignment #0 – Daily Journals
Writing in a daily journal is a way to reflect upon your experiences from readings and the real world. Daily journals do not have to be written every day, but there should be roughly three typed pages (double-spaced, 12 font) added to your journal every week. The journal entries can be about any topic related to entrepreneurship: responses from readings, news articles, discussions with friends and family members, reflections from your own personal experiences, even how entrepreneurship relates to video games. Each week, email me your daily journal collection the day before class (Thursday) in word document form.

Assignment #1 – Job Shadowing at Zane’s
Read the chapter 2 in Alpha Dog. Use the information in chapter 2 to come up with at least 5 questions to ask the management at Zane’s Cycles. Email the questions or post them on the course website. After I receive the questions, I will call to either confirm the questions or have you make any necessary corrections. Once the questions are satisfactory, go to Zane’s Cycles and ask management permission for an interview. After your interview, type a quick ‘thank you’ letter to the management at Zane’s Cycles thanking them for their time. Finally, write a short 1 page summary of your experiences job shadowing to be included in your daily journal.

Assignment #2 – Create Your Own Assignment
Everything in life, especially entrepreneurship, takes initiative. Take the initiative to create your own assignment for your parents. More will be said about this during class.
