I have found this module quite challenging and difficult. I found the lectures quite difficult to understand, but this might be because I had no knowledge of business and self employment and probably confused myself.. So the tasks we needed to do, some I found more challenging than others, but I think i managed to get some points together.
With the group presentation, I was quite excited of the thought of sorting a potential business out, as were the rest of the group. When talking in the group, I managed to get a better understanding of the PEST and SWOT models, as well as some other terms I was unsure about.
We got together regularly before the easter holidays to try and sort some of the presentations out, however I feel we wasted quite a lot of time finding a name.. which wasn't that important..
But, when we came up with 'fourhead' we stuck to it, and started looking more into the business side to things.
Sarah became the 'leader' of the group, so we were told what to go away and look at. This worked really well, and when we had collected all the relevant information, we were then able to sort out the presentation slides.
The area I was looking into was business insurance and the legal side to opening a business. Some parts I found quite interesting but I did get a bit bored towards the end.. so I looked into other areas too.
If we were able to go back and do it again, I would definitely not spend so much time thinking of a name and would try get organised with what everyone is doing more towards the beginning of the project.
We had a lot of information on the boards and we talked quite a lot, next time I think I will definitely think more about the key points (key information) that needs to be up on the boards, so the audience can see the figures in front of them.
