    The document contains suggestions for revising 5 student goal statements for a course. The suggestions aim to make the goals more specific, realistic and achievable. For example, the first goal of getting an A or B is revised to state an exact desired grade. The second goal of making the Dean's List is said to need a more realistic approach. The third goal of losing 10 pounds in a week is deemed unhealthy and unrealistic. The fourth goal of reading 3 chapters before an exam is considered realistic if enough time is allotted. The last goal of learning everything taught is called unattainable without setting smaller, measurable subgoals.

    Revise Goal Statements


    1. I want to get an A or B in this course.

    -I think this goal should be more specific. An a or a b is a broad range. This goal should
    state exactly what grade the student would like to achieve.

    2. I hope that I can make the Dean's List this semester.

    -This is a great goal but the writer is only hoping. You have to have a realistic goal. If the
    writer doesn’t think they can make the dean’s list realistically, maybe they should scale
    back and shoot for a more realistic goal.

    3. I wish that I could lose ten pounds before the dance next Saturday.

    -A goal should be moderately challenging as well as realistic. This goal seems very
    challenging and honestly, it seems unhealthy.

    4. Read all three chapters in my philosophy text before the exam.

    -As long as the student has ample time to reach this goal, it sounds realistic and
    achievable.

    5. I will learn everything that I am taught this semester.

    -Although this isn’t a very specific goal or well measured, it is attainable. The writer of
    this goal should be more specific and lay out a timeline of smaller goals to achieve in
    order to achieve the large goal.
