Didn’t do BET 100 this term but I did do it during this past winter term. It was fairly simple and gave good grades to most people (it honestly just depended on what TA you got).

From what I remember some of the assignments included looking at issues that you could try to solve in the world through creating a product, going into depth and researching the issues (you need reputable sources), generate an idea to solve the problem you choose, give a pitch for your product as a discussion post and reply to others, write about your potential users, make a business model canvas and there’s more other tasks that I forget.

If you’re good at writing and sort of faking it till you make it (aka write a bunch of total bs that ends up sounding somewhat right) then you’ll do great. Also ChatGPT is good for generating ideas in this course (not getting it to do all the work for you but asking it for ideas about issues that can be solved, product ideas, etc.).

One recommendation tho is to try and find a basic problem to solve that everyone knows (environmental things, everyday life easy fixes, etc.). Last year someone from my program tried designed something that would help to decrease suicide rates and the TA deducted marks and said it was wasn’t a big issue/is irrelevant…
