(Short Course)

Course Description:

This course answers the question, "How can you read a book about reading a book unless you already know how to read a book?" It's a course about the art of reading. It's for students, writers and self-starting learners who want to increase their understanding and maximize their time by reading more efficiently and effectively. It's an entry-level course, yet such a practical course that it offers practical wisdom even for doctoral students whose reading assignments are heavy and overwhelming. Reading is a skill, and in this course students will practice rehearsing that vital skill, so that they improve and gain confidence. 

Key Questions To Be Explored:

• What all does reading entail?

• How can I read faster? 

• What if I read something, such as a history book, and within minutes, or even seconds, forget what I just read? 

• What is the best way to review a book?
