SMART Goal JustificationSMART Goal Justification

Last spring in both my mid-term evaluation and end of the term evaluation many students remarked that I need to be more timely in returning assignments.

I personally like written feedback that is specific to the assignment.

Working with the assessment guru, Julia, I will be learning how to assess student work in new ways.

Finally, between other work and family responsibilities I can easily fall behind in returning student work.
