It states that specific and challenging goals along with appropriate feedback contribute to higher and better task performance.

    This quote was amazing for helping me decide what my true goals are. They help me ask more define questions for clarity and broke down the theory of goals. I did not realize there was a science to this because everything clicked with the explanation that was given along with examples. I am thrilled and excited to restart my new goals in life with more meaning and purpose behind them now because of this course. If you don’t no your goal or what a goal is truly like I did not please watch and study this course!
