To draw together progression with the big picture students set short- and long-term targets.
The short term targets could be reviewed weekly or fortnightly and the long term targets at the end of term.
Having a long term target may give more cogency to the students’ and lecturers’ short term targets. It may also allow the student to focus on what really motivates them about a subject.
