Time for some smart target thinking
Target setting for Media Studies
You must set one smart target for each of your media classes
You must consider which of your skills you need to develop over the
next few months
This could be time management
It could be your understanding of key media terms related to industries or
audiences
It could be your knowledge of PSB radio broadcasting
It could be your ability to write confidently (you are going to be set lots of
writing tasks this term)
This could be to improve your attendance and punctuality to your 3 hour class
It could be to get more organised and to sort your folder out
