BUS100 Class/Concentration Summary Paper

· Had you chosen a concentration at least in your mind before you took this class? What was it and why? I had decided upon a a concentration before this class. I had decided on Accounting because I wanted to work in auditing or tax accounting when I graduate. I currently have a job in which I do some accounting in and I really enjoy it.

· Have you changed your mind about your possible concentration? What made you change your mind? Why have you changed your mind? I would only consider Finance or Real Estate as a change for me because it still involves the numbers side of business. The only reason I would consider switching is if I could not get into the classes I needed for Accounting in a reasonable amount of time.

· Are you less worried now than you were at the beginning of the semester about choosing a concentration? Why or why not? What other information do you need to make you more comfortable about choosing a concentration? I am more certain that this is where I would like to be in my choice of concentration. The only other information would be whether or not I am able to register for my upper division classes in the upcoming semester, and if not, which of the three concentrations would offer me the best availability.

· Were the speakers from each department/concentration helpful in providing information about the possible concentrations? Why? I thought all the speakers were very knowledgeable and did their best to explain what you would be doing in the concentration, how you would proceed through the concentration in the upcoming years and where you might be with that concentration after you graduate.

· Explain your attitudes and opinion of having chosen business as a major. Honestly, I find it a bit frustrating in the fact that I am a transfer and I cannot register for the classes I need until the change of major date. This will most likely cause me to take a semester off due to lack of availability of upper division class space. I hope that once I am an official major, this outsider feel will dissipate.

· Would you feel comfortable meeting with a Career Advisor either for the Career Center or in the COB? Why or why not? Yes, though I am more comfortable with the COB advisors because they always let you just stop in for a quick question. This has a very open door feel and it can be a major time saver.

· What information that you received in the class was the most useful? I think the resume section of the class is the most helpful. Even though I already had a resume written and had already had it reviewed by CSU's career center, I still found it helpful to have a discussion about it to fine tune my resume a bit more.
