Entrepreneurship in Practice fall 2003
Instructors Pam Krank and Erica Whittlinger
Excerpts from Student Evaluations
- I liked that the course was team taught. Continue that. Also liked that it was women teaching the course.
- Offer a follow up course!!!
- Stimulating class
- Interesting and valuable
- I think the team-teaching is a great way to see two different points of view.
- I love the “twin-tutor” concept. This collaboration is fantastic!
- I really enjoyed our guest speakers. They add a unique learning experience you cannot duplicate through reading alone.
- This instructor knows the stuff. I suggest she should be retained for this course next year.
- Expert in her content area. Info given was current, useful, and real. Great instructor!
- Because of the nature of this course, instructor knowledge was a primary component and made the class interesting and the material learned valuable.
- I loved the personal experience stories. Pam is funny and very insightful. When she tells stories applicable to what we are being taught it makes it easy to learn.
- Great class. The teacher is very energetic and knows business very well. She respects students and spent extra time outside of the class to help students who have questions!! Excellent teacher and fun class!!
- Pam brought a lot of experience to the Entrepreneur course—also a lot of helpful failures she’s experienced in her entrepreneurial life. Always interesting to listen to and gave very helpful suggestions with the business plan. She always came early/stayed late to answer questions and give each student the individual help they needed.
- It is very interactive and informational. It also had many guests that helped the class.
- Very interactive, lots of “real world” experience, fun in class, liked writing the business plan. The team teaching was great!!
- Pam is very knowledgeable with all business information. Both teachers work very well with each other. They feed off each other and in turn we feed off of them. This has been the most worthwhile class that I have taken. I feel the knowledge that I have learned will be very important to the success of my future.
- Both instructors are very educated and more than willing to share their ideas and thoughts to help us. This was a real live class as opposed to “text class” which I felt like I learned more here than I have in a lot of other classes. Thanks for a great class and such positive energy to help build the confidence to become an entrepreneur!!
- Willing to go extra mile to help students.
- Interaction, lots of experience, interesting, kept things light and fun, knowledgeable, the team teaching was a great addition to the class!
- Erica’s experience in the field was very helpful in explaining/teaching the course.
- If I were to take this class over again, I would.
- Erica brought great entrepreneurial experience to the course—and it was nice to have a range of experiences between her and Pam. The ReFirement exercises she brought to class were great and helped students to assess where they are at in their lives and in which directions they’d like to move. It was a great component to the course. My main goal was to come out of the class with a business plan—and I did.
- Erica is very helpful, calm and interesting. Her knowledge and personal experience compliment the class perfectly. It was a joy to come to class.
- Provided good case studies, encouraged students to get in touch with the real business. Also stimulated students’ thoughts about what they truly want through ReFirement exercises. Very Helpful!
- Erica is simply a master in this area. We’d like to have her teach other students.
- Instructor is a content expert and her info was current, relevant, and immediately useful.
