Five-Step Approach to Setting Goals

This is my Five-Step Approach to Setting Goals in a very difficult class.

Course: Microeconomics 

Step 1: Tentative Goal Statement

I want to make a B but no less than a C in Microeconomics

Step 2: List of Obstacles

1.       The reading material is dry and boring.

2.       The chapters in the text book are long.

3.       Economics has several formulas and I have difficult time understanding them.

4.       The exams and quizzes looks like a foreign language.

Step 3: List of Resources

1.       I’ll apply the material to real world economic issues.

2.       I’ll break the chapters into chunks and read a few pages at a time.

3.       I will consult my professor about hard to understand formulas.

4.       I will take the end of the chapter quizzes.

Step 4: Revised Goal Statement

I’ll try to earn a B in Microeconomics

Step 5: Polished Goal Statement

I will achieve a B in Microeconomics
