5. Successes and Lessons Learned

Overall, I was successful in moving towards my goal of achieving a H1 in MBB2. I achieved my subgoals of keeping up with deadlines, building close relations with the tutor and achieve high scores on assessments. I actively worked towards my goal and subgoals by completing my tactics of using a planner and organiser, communicating with my MBB2 tutor throughout the semester and watching all lectures weekly whilst attending all my tutorials. My goal is yet to be achieved as the exam of MBB2 is after the completion of this reflective blog. However, I am confident that with my skills based on goal attainment literature, I will be able to continue to work towards my goal during exam preparation. In sum, this experience has taught me that it is good to have a rough plan of your goal and intended outcome however it is equally if not more important, to have coping mechanisms ready for when setbacks and challenges occur that can drift you off your goal attainment journey. Without support and strategies, it can be difficult to go back on track with your plan. Finally, if my experience taught me anything, it is to be generous to myself and to acknowledge my hard work even when the results are not what I expected.
