Assignment 14A - Halfway Reflection

-

1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 
            -One of the behaviors that I have used the most to keep up with the requirements of this course is time management. Keeping up with the cupcakes, blog posts, and comments has been very difficult, especially while trying to keep up with the work from my other classes. Another behavior that I have used a lot for this class is detail. While completing my interviews for our assignments, I have learned to be very detailed with my work so the readers can clearly understand people’s opinions and views. Both of these behaviors have taught me how to be a better student.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
            -There have been many times throughout this semester that made me feel like “giving up”. One time, in specific, was during exam week. Most of my professors had assigned the most work during the first exam week of the semester. Trying to study for exams while also trying to complete my assignments in a timely manner was very difficult. I realized that the outcome of pushing through this extremely difficult week would be well worth it in the end. So, I pushed myself to the limit and completed exam week successfully.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
            -There are many tips that I would offer to next semester’s students. I would suggest that they work ahead of their schedule, if possible. Working ahead of time allows you to spend time focusing on other classes and allows you to manage your time better. Another tip that I would recommend is enjoy the class that you are taking. Even if you dislike the class or the professor, try to find something and learn from it in each of your classes. Although it may sound counterintuitive, you never know what can help you down the road. And lastly, do not let the bad times take over for the good times. College is stressful and forces us to work to our max capacity all of the time. Overcoming a bad time will eventually lead to better times down the road. So, work had and focus now, and relax afterwards.

Assignment 29A - Venture Concept No. 2

·       Opportunity o    People across America currently hold the need of being able to drive and access their most-used device, their cell phones, without causing danger to others while driving. The nature of the need is that they are required to drive their vehicles while still being considered “hands-free” when accessing their cell phones. o    The forces in the environment that is creating this opportunity is how competitors are only allowing consumers the use of specific applications while they are driving their vehicles. o    This market affects people of all geographical locations and everyone demographically. This would pertain to individuals that are of-age to drive a motor vehicle and hold a valid driver’s license in the US. o    Customers are currently satisfying this need by using the apps that are currently allowed on Bluetooth-capable in-car devices, such as Apple CarPlay or Android ...

Assignment 12A - Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1

Choosing a segment: For this specific assignment, I chose the segment of young drivers. All of the drivers that I interviewed have new cars and they paid extra to get the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto option. These drivers are all college-aged students that mostly travel to campus. These individuals had mostly positive things to say about their experiences. There were some topics that they brought up to make changes to their user experience. Interviews: -        Adrian, 18-year-old college student, has great experience using Apple CarPlay with his iPhone. Since he cannot access all features of his cell phone with CarPlay, he tends to use his cell phone while operating his vehicle. “I wish there was a way to view and access all aspects of my phone while driving. It would make me a better driver and allow me to multitask while driving to class and campus”. -        Anni, 20-year-old college student, l...

Assignment 9A - Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

·       WHO: While completing my interviews, I realized that there are two main groups of people who fall outside of the boundary. One group consists of the elder generation that refuses to learn the technology that comes equipped in their vehicles. I interviewed a 60-year-old woman and a 57-year-old man. Both of these individuals drive new vehicles that are equipped with Bluetooth. Neither of these individuals have even bothered to figure out how the Bluetooth option works in each of their vehicles. Most of these people grew up in an era where technology was never even thought about. They mostly see technology as something that is difficult to comprehend, unless you’re a tech geek. This causes them to not use the Bluetooth feature while operating their vehicle. The other cohort of individuals that fall outside the boundary are millennials. I interviewed an 18-year-old high school student and a 21-year-old college student. Neither of them use ...
