What is the purpose of the goal-setting project?

The Goal-setting project enhances the effects of planning and writing activities on the wellbeing and academic performance of students.
In what sequence will I receive all parts of the programme?

You will get access to each part of the GoalStart program successively through your university's LMS system as separate forms within your designated course. Goal Setting: The first form will guide you through activities to help you define your passions and set clear, actionable goals. Progress Tracking: The goalsetting methodology focuses on tracking your progress, allowing you to monitor your advancement and adjust your strategies as needed. Public Commitment: The final part gives you the opportunity to dig deep into your soul, identify your life goal and commit publicly to it. Research shows that those who share their goals with their peers experience additional drive to achieve them. Each part of the goal setting methodology will be introduced gradually to ensure you can fully engage with the process before moving on to the next stage.
How can I know if I successfully completed the questionnaires/interventions?

While completing our positive psychology exercises, there will be a bar at the top of the screen indicating the percentage of the questionnaire you have completed. When the questionnaire is fully completed, the percentage will reach 100%.
Where can I view my answers?

You may return to the previous pages of the questionnaire at any time through the relevant course to review your responses. Once you submit your assignment in each part, you will also have the option to download a PDF containing all of your answers for future reference.
What if I submitted my answers too late?

If you were still able to fill out the questionnaire/intervention, there is no need to worry. We have received your answers.
What is a LinkedIn certificate and how can I get it?

It is a digital Learning Certificate of Completion and Skills that you can add online on your LinkedIn Profile and mention on your CV. With the help of this LinkedIn certificate, you can better exhibit your competences to future employers. By completing all the parts of the Goal-setting Intervention you will be able to claim your own certificate.
What about my privacy?

We will not use your data or input in any way. We will not research, share, publish or market your data. Your participation is confidential, and your data will be deleted 3 months after the end of the academic year. Make sure you set your goals, so you keep track of your progress through the years.
