You think you know how to read? Reading for leisure and the reading skills we use to get us through the first part of university are not the skills that allow us to excel academically in upper-level courses. Ever wonder how you’ll get through the hundreds of pages of assigned reading you have in all your courses? This workshop will guide you with best principles and handy tips. In this workshop, you will learn:
- Muscle Reading method and how to apply it
- What to do even prior to reading academic texts
- How to skim and scan academic texts and when to use these techniques
- How to read actively
- How to use SQ3R as a method of reading
