Solution Preview
My SMART ambition for the next four weeks is to complete my part-time coursework and sit for the exams. For the past week, I have been setting aside a one-hour or two-hour extra time to read of the course and engage in discussions with fellow classmates. As a result, I was able to complete a quarter of the course ahead of the class objectives, which improved my learning.
