Study Skills: Academic reading strategies and note-making techniques
When:
—
Venue:
Online
Many students initially find it difficult to manage the quantity and complexity of academic reading that is required of them. In addition, making effective notes from your reading and in lectures is a complex activity that requires you to engage in active reading or listening, and critical thinking simultaneously. This workshop will consider the importance of active reading strategies in managing the quantity and complexity of reading at university level. It will also discuss the purpose of note-making, the importance of using a range of active note-making techniques, and how to integrate your notes into your writing.
