Critical Thinking and Reading: what, why and how to read. Online
Novice/ Intermediate / Advanced Level: Attempting to read academic literature may seem overwhelming and confusing. Should you read a text from beginning to end? How do you know which bits are the most relevant? In this workshop you will learn why it’s important to use academic literature in your assignments and what are the sources you should be reading. You will discover some of the key approaches to reading such as skimming, scanning and intensive reading.
