International students need to think about the goals that they wish to set for the year ahead. Now is a good time to think about these. Here we outline a short guide to setting them.
Goals should be set so that you know where you want to go. Many people don't set goals or set very vague ones. Many International students don't know what they want to achieve in their studies in Australia. Goals are a very good way to motivate yourself when studying or in life.
They should be SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable Reliable and Timely) goals. Think about what you want to achieve this semester. Be specific and think about the time in which you want to do them in.
Eg: have High distinctions for Mathematics by the end of the semester.
Think about how you will achieve the goal. Ask yourself: what do I need to achieve this goal/doing.
Be proactive. Do the work early. Plan ahead.
Long term and short team goals
Long term ones is for the year ahead and short term ones can be for the week ahead or for the next hour. Big goals (long term) take a lot of time and effort and smaller ones (short term) don't take a lot of time.
Doing it
Follow them to the latter if you can. Make a timetable. Also write a list of what needs to be done. This will help you to achieve them. Get help if you need to.
