Describe three lessons or concepts from this course that you feel were the most valuable to you. Be specific about what you learned and why it was meaningful or useful. If you find this difficult, then please explain why and provide 2-3 specific suggestions for how this course could be improved for future business students.
Overall, did your professional skills grow during this semester? Why or why not?
Describe a time you “failed” in BUS 303 — a time when your action (or inaction) resulted in a disappointing result. What did you learn from that experience, what would you share with future BUS 303 students?
Projection #1
Think about the challenges that might arise or additional development you believe you need to enhance as you pursue your professional goals over the next five years.
Describe 2 of those challenges or development areas in detail. Be specific.
What 2-3 professional skills would you use to navigate those challenges?
Write 2-3 supporting SMART goals for each professional skill identified in item 2 that will help you to continue to develop each skill over the course of the coming year. Build out the skills to help you successfully navigate through the challenges listed in item 1 and to continue to grow professionally. These should be well thought out goals that will help you to grow as you enter the workforce.
