Identifying Your S.M.A.R.T. Goals It is time to review your writing process by examining where you were when you started the course and by looking ahead to any further needs. Your perception of your writing process needs may have changed since the beginning of the course. How have your needs have changed, and what goals will you set for yourself as you continue your scholarly career? Here, you will take these findings and use them to identify strategies and goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and, timely (S.M.A.R.T.) to help you continue advancing your scholarly writing.
