The class has been well-received by enrolled students.
Vijay Kedar ’12, who said he wants to attend business school and is interested in entrepreneurship, praised the course for exposing undergraduates to resources offered at the Business School, such as the I-Lab and guest speakers.
Riju Agrawal ’13 said he signed up for the course because he also wants to attend business school and ultimately start his own company that focuses on energy development in India and China.
He said he has gained knowledge in the class that he has not been able to acquire in any previous course he has taken at the College.
“At Harvard, we’re biased against teaching what are termed ‘skills,’” Agrawal said. “[This course is] fulfilling a need that’s been traditionally overlooked.”
