Unit Two: What are Your Goals?
|
You are taking this course because you have some educational goals: earning a degree, getting a better job, or learning more about your field. In this unit, you will think about your goals and formulate them. Clear goals will make your job easier as you decide what areas of learning you want to request credit for; you may not have enough time to request credit for all of your learning, but with clear goals, you will know where to spend your time and effort. With the busy lives we lead, it is often difficult to take time for ourselves, but in this unit, it will be your assignment.
