Reading Smarter, Not Longer: Getting Through Course Readings
📖
You do not have to read every word to understand a chapter. Learn to read with a purpose.

Preview first
Read the headings, the introduction, and the summary before the main text. You will understand the details better once you know the shape of the argument.
Read with a question
Turn each heading into a question and read to answer it. Your attention sharpens when it has a target.
Take notes that help later
Write short summaries in your own words. Copying sentences feels productive but does not help you remember nearly as well.
