    Goal-Setting

    Department of Computer Science, University of people

    UNIV 1001 - Online Education Strategies

    Sinchana Shringeri

    03 August 2023
    Goal-setting is vital for college success as it provides focus and drives

    motivation. Some individuals may lack clear goals and merely drift through life,

    risking missed opportunities. Being in college already indicates a major goal, but

    managing conflicting objectives and prioritizing tasks is crucial to graduate

    successfully.

    During my college semester, I set a goal to master Advance Java

    programming. However, I struggled to achieve it due to a lack of motivation and poor

    time management. I found myself spending more time on other study materials,

    neglecting my Java practice. Consequently, my lack of dedication and focus hindered

    my success in mastering Advance Java. It taught me the importance of setting clear

    priorities and staying motivated to achieve my goals.

    After finishing high school, I took a short Python language course fueled by

    great interest. My initial plan was to complete online Python tutorials and code for at

    least an hour daily. Upon completing the course, I found it fascinating and started

    creating small projects like web scrapers and applications. Later, I tackled complex

    projects and succeeded. By taking baby steps and managing my time effectively,

    regular practice, continuous motivation, and consistent effort, I achieved expertise in

    Python programming.

    Effective goal-setting helps us achieve goals due to it provides clarity,

    direction, and motivation. By setting specific, achievable, relevant, objectives, we

    stay focused and committed to the task by using proper time management . It

    enhances planning, prioritization, and tracking progress, ensuring that we remain on

    track towards success.


    Good goals should be realistic, specific, and it needs to have a time frame .

    Having a strong desire to achieve the goal is essential, as genuine passion drives

    perseverance, while vague or disinterested goals are prone to abandonment when

    challenges arise.

    In my first example, I did not succeed in achieving my short-term goal, which

    was to improve daily time management and allocate specific time for Advance Java

    practice each day. My mid-term goal is to successfully complete a Java programming

    project or coursework within the current college semester and gain hands-on

    experience during internships. My long-term goal is to implement this knowledge in

    my professional life.
