question 5 of 10
which of the following is an example of a typical short - term goal?
a. completing a master’s degree program
b. starting a career in veterinary medicine
c. completing college algebra
d. obtaining an associate’s degree

Explanation:

A short - term goal is one that can be achieved in a relatively short period, usually within a year or less (or a short academic term).

• Option A: Completing a master’s degree program takes years, so it's a long - term goal.
• Option B: Starting a career in veterinary medicine requires education, training, and job - hunting over a long period, so it's long - term.
• Option C: Completing college algebra can be done within a semester or a few months (a short academic term), so it's a short - term goal.
• Option D: Obtaining an associate’s degree takes at least a couple of years, so it's a long - term goal.

Answer:

C. Completing college algebra
