• If you're thinking of taking this course as the bird course in your 2A MTE... this course will be the most time-consuming course you will take in the 2A term. Especially, if you don't like writing or reading or yapping with people at 6 pm till 9 pm... this will drain your battery to study for other courses. It is good that there's no midterm or final, but there's a podcast project that is the most time-consuming project you will ever work on. Also, if you're rushing your assignment, you might get most stressful email from school, so be careful lol.

• Took this course to fill the Engineering List A CSE requirement. The course focuses primarily on assignments and discussions on LEARN that build up to a term-long project where you create a podcast about a social issue that can be solved with a business model. For this project, ensure not to have lazy group members. Otherwise, you are going to be stuck doing everything yourself. There is no midterm or final. The course content revolves around utilizing capitalism and ventures as a tool for good, but don't expect to gain any real entrepreneurship skills.

• Took this course in the spring 2020 term with Roopa Reddy as the professor. The course content is very interesting and applicable for those who are interested in entrepreneurial pursuits relating to social change or addressing societal inequities. The majority of our marks came from weekly discussions. This course consisted of a reflection based on a guest lecture of our choosing, weekly discussions and a final group project where we had to create a business model and proposal for an initiative of our choosing. The group project does have a significant effect on your overall grade depending on the type of people that you choose to be a group with, so be wise in your selection. Finally,…
