Evaluation

I didn't have any expectations for the two classes. I did go into them with the notion that I was going to integrate the knowledge that I gained from them into my life, which is work, my father owns his own business and its a farm. I live right across the street and work is everyday, and when ever its necessary. I also wanted to take the most out of the class as I could.
I have learned a few helpful tools, I have read use full information and found ways to access information that I was unable to in the past. I have learned a lot about myself, and see myself and people in a different light now. For example marketing opened my eyes up to the fact that our societies' citizens are just consumer's, being fed by the overpowered money making machines of the world(large for profit corporations.) I have put these tools to use in my own life and in work. My work is where I applied most of what I learned in marketing. The biggest thing that set in was that its an organized set of tools. Education is like building a big mental tool box that your gonna have for the rest of your life, and each tool box is gonna have a purpose. The reason marketing is so easy to apply to the work I am doing is because the organization I'm in is the simplest kind. It consisits of two people. My father and myself. We have little to no marketing skill, or any tools in the tool box for that matter.
So the Marketing class ended I received passing marks, and moved onto management. As a note Marketing was 12 day course and I felt more involved in the class than I had in previous post highschool classes. Management is now almost half over there is one week left before the mid-term break and I am recieving passing marks.
Organization, organization, organization I can't say it enough. Time management has always been something people people emphasize is very important. I didn't apply it when I was younger and grads show in high school. But running the better part of an operation for a business has forced me to get into the habit of using time management. If you need a place to start, I suggest you get a watch and thats not a joke.
Organization, and how to apply it are the two biggest lessons I have learned in these courses. There is more to it than just that, for example now I have the basis to start building a comprehensive business plan, and marketing plan, and from there I can only grow.
