For the majority of students at university - particularly students of humanities, business and social sciences, academic reading is by far in a way the most labour-intensive academic process. However, many students receive very little support about things they could do to read more efficiently and effectively. Much support at university is focused upon writing, but students need to have consulted enough sources and made sense of the content in order to write high-quality assignments.
This concise and practical text will equip students with the effective reading strategies they need when preparing for their university assessments. The book:
· dispels a number of dubious assumptions that students hold about university reading
· helps students to understand the different types of texts they will encounter at university
· provides a range of strategies that students can use to understand their field of study, particular texts and the relations between texts
· helps readers to speed up their reading, as well as read in a more focused and slower way, depending on what's needed
· shows how to make notes
· provides worked examples of how reading features in the research and writing process by analysing how readings feature in (1) an essay and (2) a literature review
