Entrepreneurial Principles and Quantitat

This course is structured around class-wide and individual exercises that introduce students to the key principles of entrepreneurial thinking, such as identifying problems and opportunities, thinking creatively, developing minimally viable products (MVPs) and low fidelity prototypes, creating a reliable workflow, pivoting and course-correcting, finding valuable help, and developing productive habits. In addition, students are introduced to the key tools of quantitative reasoning, including surveys, observational data, experiments, simulation and projections, data analysis, statistical reasoning, organized researching, and persuasive and authoritative writing – and how those tools support entrepreneurial projects. Students should leave the class equipped with the sense that they themselves can produce constructive change in their world, along with a blueprint for how to go about getting it started.
