"Make better grades" is not an effective objective because it is vague and not specific, it does not have a target date, and it is difficult to measure because "better" is not clearly defined. A well-written objective should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Therefore, a better objective might be "Earn a B+ or higher in Math by the end of the semester." This is specific (Math B+), measurable (B+ or higher), achievable (depending on the student's abilities and effort), relevant (if math is a required course), and time-bound (by the end of the semester).
