GEN 101 Week 3 Discussion Looking Ahead

Looking Ahead [WLO: 4] [CLO: 3]

Where will you be in five years, ten years, or even twenty years? How do you even begin to think about the future you want for yourself? One way is to work backward from what you see as your ideal future so that you can understand the actions you need to take right now to successfully reach your goal. To write goals that can help you be successful, you are learning how to write a SMART goal. This week, you will practice how to know when a goal is “SMART.” Then you will write your academic and professional goals. In addition, you will look ahead at the Week 5 Final Project and begin adding to it so that you are, in fact, not only looking ahead but also thinking and working ahead! 

Ed talks with his boss about advancing in his company and writing a SMART goal as a guide. 

Every day you set, pursue, and achieve goals. In fact, this course is evidence that you set a goal to pursue a college degree. 

There are short-term goals and long-term goals. For example, a short-term goal is to complete your work each day for this course. An example of a long-term goal is to complete your Week 5 Final Project. And guess what? An even longer-term goal is to earn your college degree! Understanding the steps needed to achieve your long-term goals and short-term goals is important to how successful you will be. 

Consider how you will dedicate time and effort toward completing coursework. Do you have a study schedule? What will you do if an obstacle arises?—and it will! How are your writing skills and reading comprehension skills? Will you need to schedule time to get help from the Student Support Center or the UAGC Writing CenterLinks to an external site.? The Student Support Center can accessed through the left navigation menu.


 

 | Prepare

Prior to working on this discussion, do the following:

 | Write

In your initial discussion forum post (250 words): 

  • Describe your long-term career goal. 
  • Name the occupation/career you want to have in five years. 
  • Find an occupational job listing on O*Net OnlineLinks to an external site. and review the qualifications for the occupation/career you want in five years. 
  • From what you find in the job description, explain three skills that you will need to learn. 
  • Name a professional organization you could join or a business owner you could shadow to help you achieve your goals. You will include this information in your Week 5 Professional Development Plan. 
  • Reflect on your long-term career goal and the Week 5 Professional Development Plan: 
    • Describe two people or professional resources to help you on your journey to a college degree. 
    • Describe two UAGC resources to help you on your journey to a college degree. 
  • Reflect on what you have learned so far in this course: 
    • List three potential roadblocks you may encounter as you work toward the goal of completing your Week 5 Final Project. 
    • Your roadblocks will be very personal to you. For example, maybe you have a big project deadline looming over the next few weeks, or maybe a relative is having surgery. Whatever your potential roadblock, you will have a strategy to support you going forward. You will have a plan for success! 
  • Use the template below to list three potential roadblocks and three strategies you can use to overcome the roadblocks. You may highlight, copy, and paste the template into a separate document and attach it to your post, or you can paste the template directly into your discussion post. 
Potential Roadblock Strategy 
   
   
   

 TIP

You may want to take a screenshot of your final work or print it and hang it on a mirror you look at frequently as a reminder that you have a solution if roadblocks arise (and they will!).


 | Guided Response

Respond substantively (in at least 100 words) to at least two of your peers by Day 7 (Monday).

In your peer responses,

  • Provide three success strategies to help your peer overcome the roadblocks they have listed. 
  • Recommend a national professional organization or conference they could attend to help them with their long-term career goal.
