Hip Hop Management

With good planning,

and a clear vision,

I can now lead from a top position.

And thanks to my great teacher,

I won't be a street cleaner.

So my gratitude to professor Kurpis,

I know no other student can learn this,

That being creative is how you survive,

This is how today's managers thrive.

Master Blogger

Blogging in this class has been an absolutely new venture for me. I've read countless blogs online for a number of years, but I've never created one to engage in communication with people, in this kind of manner. It is definitely unique to only the most creative professors, to make students engage in communication, which isn't just confined into the classroom.

I definitely benefited from communicating on this blog. I followed a number of different blogs, and got to know allot more about my peers in this class. Also, I created new friendships along the way.

Writing on this blog also gave me a better understanding of topics we covered in the classroom. It forced me to go more in depth, and to think "out-side of the box" about boring topics, like "planning" or "vision." Usually, I would just read the chapter and get through lectures, without really thinking about these topics and applying it in this way.

Having control of 20% of our grade through this blog was great. The due dates however could have been more lenient. Sometimes I rushed through answering blogs just to get it done by the due date, not to loose points. I regret doing this because I actually really enjoy writing and responding on this blog. I still hope my insight toward this blog project will get me the full 20%.

The blog project should be kept as a component of this course. I will continue to write on my blog and hopefully get some really helpful insight in the future.
