Entrepreneurship

Dear colleagues,

Further to your suggestions to distribute the correction of business plans more evenly we have checked the amount of hours you deliver in Entrepreneurship and worked the number of groups pro rata. In view of this kindly note the groups that you will be correcting.

Andrew Triganza Scott                  1 - 17

Ivan Briffa                                       18 - 27

Mario Zammit                                28 - 52

Robert Cassar                                 53 - 63

Omar Grech                                    64 - 73

David Pace                                      74 – 80

May I remind you that this year the reflective parts are being assessed by business mentors.

Let me know if you have any difficulties with this.

Regards,
Kenny

Dear Lecturers / Mentors,

Following some correspondence on the upcoming deliverables for the L6 Entrepreneurship assignment I felt the need to send this email to clarify matters as I have misguided some of you. Mostly this is related to Task 3, which states:

Once you have set up your team start working on exploring different sources of entrepreneurial ideas.

Explain the process you went through in exploring potential ideas as well as the process you used to choose / eliminate ideas.

Deliverable:

Submit as a GROUP to your lecturer on Friday 25^th January 2019

Students have been asking if they are to submit this to their mentor or their lecturer. Please inform them in your lectures or meetings that they need to present the hard copy of Task 3 (as a group) to the board who will be reviewing their work on Monday 28^th January. From our end we are finalising the list of lecturers who will be correcting students’ group work since as you are aware the students you lecture form part of groups from several Institutes. During a meeting we held earlier this year some of you informed us that last year the corrections were not distributed evenly and we are trying to rectify this. Later on this week we should be in a position to send you the list.

Hence to conclude, by the 28^th January or on the day the deliverables for students are as follows:

• Hard copy of 1^st submission of reflective journal (original deadline date on Friday 25^th January): hand in hard copies to the board just after the presentation on Monday 28^thJanuary;
• Soft copy of 1^st submission of reflective journal (original deadline date on Friday 25^th January): upload on https://moodle.mcast.edu.mt by Monday 28^th January (select the Entrepreneurship tab, select the name of the business mentor (not the lecturer), select the group number, and upload pdf version);
• Hard copy  of Task 3 (original deadline date on Friday 25^th January): hand in hard copy to the board just after the presentation on Monday 28^th January;. From our end we will then forward this to the lecturers assigned to correct the students’ work.

Unfortunately communication through the Directors is not always reaching students so I am kindly asking you to communicate with students yourselves. We are currently working on another means of communication to address this problem.

If anything is still not clear please let us know immediately. And once again apologies for the lack of clarity.

Regards,

Kenny

Dear Directors,

Gentle reminder about the presentations being held on Monday 28^th January as per the attached schedule. Unfortunately the email I had sent did not reach all students taking this unit. Please make sure that this time this email is delivered to all.

Furthermore, I would like to inform students that they need to submit their deliverables as follows:

• Hard copy of 1^st submission of reflective journal (original deadline date on Friday 25^thJanuary): hand in hard copies to board just after the presentation on Monday 28^thJanuary;
• Soft copy of 1^st submission of reflective journal (original deadline date on Friday 25^thJanuary): upload on https://moodle.mcast.edu.mt by Monday 28^th January (select the Entrepreneurship tab, select the name of the business mentor (not the lecturer), select the group number, and upload pdf version).

Each group is reminded to present one hard copy of the presentation and hand in at the start of the presentation.

Please let us know if you find any difficulties.

Dear students, 

Kindly note that the first presentation as part of the Entrepreneurship assignment is being held on Monday 28^th January between 08:30 and 15:30 at the MCAST Students House, 2^ndFloor, Paola.

Please have a look at the attached sheet for the time of your presentation. Each group needs to prepare a five minute presentation in English and we are expecting three slides as follows:

Slide 1 – Name of Business, Logo, Team Composition

Slide 2 – Product / Service being considered

Slide 3 – Unique Selling Proposition of the product / service being considered

Please ensure that you are all on time and that you all make it for the presentation. If for some reason you still have issues with your group it is important that these are tackled immediately. Keep in mind that you can consult your business mentor, lecturer or any of us from the administration.

Dear colleagues,

Although most of the students have already contacted their business mentors, unfortunately some of them have not. We are kindly asking you to inform the students you teach that each group is to identify a representative to facilitate communication.

The group representative is to send an email to Duncan Vella or Robert Buttigieg on 
Duncan@mcast.edu.mt or Robert@mcast.edu.mt 
by Friday 11^th January, indicating their group number and contact details.

Thanks for your collaboration in this.

Regards,

Kenny
