By utilizing your writing skills, your personal learning style, resources, and setting goals, you will succeed at any task you take on. Goal Setting for Academic Success
Setting goals for yourself during your academic career is an important step in success. By setting goals for time management, writing papers, and reading, you will develop good habits for learning. “Researchers have identified goal setting and self-regulated learning as crucial …show more content…
Long term goals are what you want to achieve at the end of the process. Short term goals are easily reachable goals to get you to that long term goal. For instance my long term goal is to get a job in medical office management. To achieve my long term goal I have set a few short term goals. First I have to find a job in the health care industry. Then my next goal is to finish my degree in Health Care Management.
By setting goals students can learn more because it helps them focus on the goals they have set for themselves. Oxana D.

The Writing Process and Utilizing Resources
Being able to write papers that are clear and informative in your academic career will lead to success outside of school. Writing is another form of communication. You need to be able to communicate information to others whether you are in a classroom or boardroom.
You want to be able to avoid information overload by “incorporating the information in compact documents” (Julie & Lehr, Dece). Your employers and peers will appreciate it. By doing so will also make you a valuable employee.
When you gather information to communicate to others, you want to utilize all the available resources there are at your disposal. How ever when doing so you want to make sure the information comes from credible and reliable sources. Academic
