ELI Winter Workshop Series: "Speed Reading" -- Handling a Heavy Reading Load

Are you a graduate student with a virtually impossible reading load? You are not alone. While it is possible to read and understand text more quickly, real reading efficiency comes from reading text more strategically. In this workshop, we will learn about strategies for prioritizing attention, understanding and remembering what we read, and aligning reading strategy with our purpose for reading (e.g. preparing for seminar discussion, developing a literature review, refining our research methods, or writing a response paper). Bring a paper or electronic copy example of the kind of text you’re trying to read more efficiently.
