These topics are basis for further learning.Thus, it is important to help students to set up a solid and comprehensive foundation. In the classdiscussion, some questions are designed to enable students to reflect on key concepts in real-timesystems, and to encourage active learning. Here are some examples: 1) Are real

found career success in some form or another, while moststudents are still exploring potential career options. Consequently, their views on the world,motivation, and future goals likely reflect their current status. A longitudinal study examininghow perceptions of entrepreneurship change based on career status and stages of adultdevelopment would be benefit and provide more insight on this issue. It is clear, however, that students and faculty members possess differentconceptualizations of entrepreneurship. Therefore, it is important to continually track students’perceptions in order to ensure that they view their education as relevant to their future careersand other personal goals. In entrepreneurial education, this may involve
