Students Speak
“BizBlock has had more of an impact on me than any of my other business
classes at NAU. This is because the business plan project required me to
use what I had learned in all of my previous classes. In addition, in classes
I have taken after BizBlock, I always find myself wishing I could have used
something I just learned in the business plan.”
— Eric Runberg, BizBlock Fall ’02
Group – “WeHaulIt”
“It was great to have the opportunity to directly apply class concepts to
a real-world situation. I learned lessons about teamwork and group dynamics
that will stick with me for years to come.”
—Amanda Lasik, BizBlock Fall ’02
Group – “Altitude Electronics”
“In BizBlock, I’m finding out that I didn’t know as much about business
as I originally thought. However, it is giving me the opportunity to gain the
knowledge that will head me in the right direction.”
—Isaac Larsen, BizBlock Spring ’03
Group – “Lasting Memory”
“BizBlock was one of the most valuable classes I have taken because it
is the closest a college student can come to a real life business experience.
The most important thing I learned was not how to work in a group, but how to
make a group work!”
—Georgia O´Keefe, BizBlock Fall ’02
Group – “Altitude Electronics”
“BizBlock is the most ‘applicable’ course The W. A. Franke College of Business has
to offer. I have used the coursework material in my businesses and in developing
new business ideas.”
—Timo Nelson, BizBlock Fall ’01
Group – “LiveTrack”
“The professors’ knowledge, care, and motivation made my BizBlock
experience wonderful and excited me about entering the business world.”
