PART A

Individually develop at least two S.M.A.R.T. goals for yourself for this semester. Be sure they need to be in completed sentences with descriptive and detailed examples. Focus on "learning goals" not "performance goals."

Share your goals with your partner and help each other refine the goals until they are truly S.M.A.R.T.

PART B

Reflect on your own personal definition of college success.

What is the purpose of education?

Are grades an indication of student learning? If so how? If not, why not?

Use excerpts from the reading to help demonstrate your position

PART C

How will you measure your college success, after considering the following quote: "Success without fulfillment is failure"?

How can you focus on learning despite the pressures to achieve a high GPA to be competitive when you enter the workplace or apply to graduate school?

What are the implications of this quote: "You forget that you are there to learn, not to please the instructor, so your studies are driven by external pleasure and not internal curiosity. So rather than appreciate the lasting lessons you will carry beyond college, you have a set of assessments testifying to your ability to know what others want from you"?
