Overview

Daunted by the idea of getting through your reading list? Want to make the most of your reading time over the vacation? You're not alone! This workshop will cover how to critically evaluate your reading lists to help you spend less time reading irrelevant material, and how to critically engage with relevant material.

We'll then spend time experimenting with a variety of note making techniques for use when reading, or attending lectures. You'll have the opportunity to try them out and decide which one best suits your practices.

The workshop will be interactive to enable you to get the most from them, and you will have an opportunity to ask questions you might have!
