Focus your energy by setting a work-related goal for yourself this semester. This goal doesn’t need to be technical, but it does need to be SMART:
S - Specific
What exactly do you want to achieve? Why do you want to achieve it? HOW will you achieve it?
Be specific.
M - Measurable
How will you track your progress? How will you know when you have achieved your goal? What is the concrete evidence of success?
A - Attainable
Is this goal something that you can realistically achieve in the defined time frame?
R - Relevant
The goal must be important to you, right now. Decide on something that’s meaningful to you.
T - Timely
Give yourself a deadline – for you, it’s the end of the semester! Select a goal that can realistically, measurably be achieved within the next 10 weeks.
SMART goals are much more specific than goals we’ve set in previous semesters (for example: “I want to learn more about the digital media programs” becomes “I want to become more adept at using the gradient mask tool in Illustrator by the end of the semester. I will do so by completing the following tutorials, and working on a final image to be included in my digital media portfolio.”
- This semester I want to achieve how to improve my skills in programming, and my goal is to complete a full stack developer course before the end of the semester. This course, will give me better understanding and experience to design websites from the front-end and back-end. I will try to achieve it by working on it a few hours per week, minimum 3 hours. As this course has 30 hours of video tutorials, and 172 lectures. I will be able to track the process via Udemy course timeline, I will get a certificate at the end of this course.
