Interesting course, but as someone not actually interested in Entrepreneurship (did it for business option), I didn't really get much out of this course. Easy enough though.

A starter course if you really want to start a business; easy to reach 80+; no exam

We had 6 group assignments (4 if attendance rate was high) and 2 individual assignments, no midterms or finals. The course was taught using various case studies as examples. Pretty light and fun course.

Easiest course you will ever take. Just show up to class (once in a while) and do the assignments. When I took it, it had no midterm and no exam (hopefully stays that way for you).
Not really all that useful though or exciting.Aug 2014 · didn’t like itOn UW FlowRemove this
