My SMART goal for the second semester of my freshman year is to improve upon critical thinking skills, so that when a question is asked I can think more deeply about it. In my geometry we do POW's (problem of the week) and we write and reflect on the problem after solving it. Most of the time I have trouble justifying my answer, so to improve on this I will ask clarifying questions. I will know if I am improving by the grades I get on these critical thinking questions and if I think I have answered it to the best of my abilities.
