Combine academic knowledge with workplace environment.

Be achievable by Monday of the week before finals.

Be reasonable within your work place and have your employer’s approval.

Objectives must:

Be measurable. Be verifiable by a rational,

performance, or data-based method, such as: increasing sales by 20 percent, having a 100 percent safety record for 3 months, or completing the 30 hour management training program.

Specify a completion date.

HOW MANY OBJECTIVES?
