First Lecture

In the first lecture, Pn. Rafidah has outlined the course objectives and outcomes. We were informed about the course assessments and projects that will be conducted in future. She briefed us on skills that involve communication, group process and self-management.

Course objectives were also explained to us for better understanding on how to apply the skills being taught. This will guide graduates who are interested in venturing into IT entrepreneurship as their career. She also discussed about her experiences dealing with life skills and habits of mind.

I have learned that one of the reasons why IT entrepreneurship is being taught is to allow graduates to go beyond the limit of IT careers. Some of the opportunities out there do not make full use of the graduates' skills and capabilities. There needs to be a realization where IT graduates not only function as human resources but also as entrepreneurs who venture in something within their capacity, skills and creativity. Some people have the ability to produce new ideas and inventions but are too afraid to venture considering the risk and lack of management skills. Some people would love to become an entrepreneur but do not know where to begin. But now I know where to begin and look forward to learn more and gain new experience in this course.
