First Meeting
It was January 24, 2020. Thursday at 7am. Our first class in Technopreneurship. I was excited and at the same time a little bit of nervous about this subject. Because this is my second time taking this subject. I failed in the previous one. And this was first time that we got to know who really Mr. Randy Gamboa is, we heard a lot from different student how strict he is in This subject, that he is not easy to please specially in pitching ideas. And I know from the very start that this would not an easy subject, our first day was good. He introduces himself in front of us talk about the syllabus, his expectation about the subject and the mission and vision of our subject. It was a fresh start for all of us because we are now aware what he likes and dislikes. He hates student who are late. And he tell us about being late would receive a punishment. He said that everyone who would come late in class should by breakfast for everyone. That’s why no one is late during our class he tells a lot of stories and it was seriously awesome because we learn from it and gain knowledge about it. He also dislike students who won’t wear complete Uniform. I’ve heard that before from some other students that he really dislike students who didn’t wear complete uniform and I didn’t take it seriously not until one day one of my classmate wear his OJT uniform and our professor made him leave the room in a nice way. And i understand his point even thought it was Friday basically no class to every department.but yes we have so we should follow his rules.
Second Meeting
January 31, 2020 this was the day we officially started our class because in our previous meeting we just talk about all the rules of the subject. He ask who was the virgin;s in this subject which he means is the first timer, because most of them are second taker of his subject and I am one of them. I was nervous because I don’t know what would we do because sir randy make us stand in front i thought he would ask difficult question’s that we cannot answer,but he rather ask us about why we failed in our previous subject and it was a relief for me because I wasn’t ready to anything that day.in our second meeting he show us a 9dots on the smart TV and he tell us that to draw it the board and connect it without lifting our hand and it was pretty hard at first because this activity uses a little trick. After those thinking moment on how to connect it without lifting our hand, he explain that the point of this drawing is we should think outside the box because when you focus just inside you would miss the opportunity on solving this activity,reflect on how we would pass in this subject .Technopreneurship is not all about solving a problem it is all about on how we make money from it. Though there are a lot of existing ideas we didn’t know that there are more who has a need to be solve. Technopreneurship is a subject that gives tech solution to the community, but first we should think really hard if that kind of idea we have is really helpful and useful.
He also teach us about Self Mastery, Environmental Mastery, Enterprise Mastery, and Development. SEED in short this kind of method would mold you to be a better Technopreneur, because this kind of method would teach you how to master your skills just like a seed if we plant a seed and take care of it it would grow wonderfully. And he want us to grow and be useful to our society this subject would guide us and teach us to develop a good solution he also discussed to us that we should work here in Davao after we graduate he encourage us to pay back our government for giving us an education that is free.
My expectation in this subject is to gain more knowledge that would be useful for me and provide me with the opportunity to learn and understand the concepts in this course in a way that I can understand and give adequate feedback on my abilities, in order that I can apply this knowledge to achieve my goal and to pass this subject.
