Outline Your Goals and Objectives for your Entire College Experience

• ​When you divide your learning plan into short duration timelines you can use divisions such as semester or quarters, or other natural divisions, to divide a year into workable and doable segments. 

Set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely) goals

• You will be able to come up with a detailed learning plan using the tools of SMART goals.

• (see here for information on SMART goals) 

Find a mentor or support system for accountability and guidance, if you haven't already done so.

• When one engages a social network or person to support, guide and encourage​, the chance of success increases dramatically. That's a primary role of traditional education.  We have to create it.

Set up a learning plan meeting with your mentor and/or learning network peers.

Always set deadlines for evaluation of your plan including reflection and consultation with mentors and/or peer learners
