SMART Objective Generator

This is a really simple tool to help you write objectives that follow the SMART format:

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Achievable
  • Relevant
  • Time-bound

Although the approach seems straightforward, it’s very easy to write objectives that are not specific, measurable or time-bound. This tool will be of particular use to students, who Mike (lecturer at Southampton University)  finds frequently don’t write SMART objectives, even when they are reminded to do so.

Simply fill in the form below to create your SMART objective.
