The first goal that I want to achieve is to have all my assigned work in on time for the entire semester. This goal will be achieved by being in class every lesson and spending extra time at Polytech and Home on each assignment to make sure it’s done on time. I will spend extra Time at Polytech on Thursdays and Fridays as a time to spend doing work distraction-free. My steps to reach this goal is to spend extra time at Polytech this extra time will be spent on working on assignments. I’m only adding two extra days that I will spend as extra time as any more will fill my week to much as I have work the entire weekend and doing this leaves me Monday to spend however I like. This Goal is very relevant to me as this was the main cause of me failing my last course that I had with Polytech. This goal should be completed by the end of the semester for the fact that all coursework needs to be submitted by then.
My second goal to have achieved by the end of the course is to have all my work done to a high standard and to the best of my ability. To achieve this, I will always reference my work back to the Marking Rubric to make sure I am doing the right thing and take notes in class about any key details on the assignment at hand. This goal links back to my first one a lot in terms of how to achieve it well, which is to spend more time doing the work so for this goal I’m doing the same as the first one which is to spend more time in doing work at poly after and before scheduled classes. This goal’s relentless is very similar to the first one in which it was what I wasn’t doing in my last course, I was just looking at what I needed to do and did it in my own word, thoughts of what it meant were I really should have been referencing the marking rubric. This goal is achievable by the end of the semester as that is when all coursework should be submitted by.
My third goal is to make sure I attend all classes I possibly can. This goal is important to me as without going to class I wouldn’t get any work done. My specific goal is to have at least a 90% attendance recorded by the end of the semester. This goal is achievable but making sure I get up on time every day and sticking to the bus schedule, the only reason that this goal would be unachievable if something major were to happen that keeps me from class.
This goal is very relevant as it’s the main reason I failed to complete my past course. This goal will be completed at the end of the semester when I can see the attendance ratings.
My fourth goal is to make sure I don’t fall behind in work this is important to me as I know if I let work pile up, I will struggle to catch up and said work will be done to a low standard. I will know if this goal has been failed if I do end up with work piling up, to stop this from happening I will accomplish this goal by stick to a schedule and having time for work to be done and were possible be ahead in the work due. This goal is relevant as work piling up will lead to me submitting lower quality work and therefore lower marks. This goal will end at the end of the semester and the success of it will be reflected by my overall mark for the course.
I went about setting these goals by looking at where I went wrong with my last course and what was needing to be changed.
