Academic writing lab online: Effective reading and note-taking (25 February)
How to purposefully read and make notes in preparation for an assignment
In this week's Academic Writing Lab session, we explore strategies to read academic texts and make notes in an efficient and purposeful way. As a researcher, it is important that your reading is not just about gathering the thoughts of others, but developing your own thinking to inform your writing. We will consider how you know whether you are reading the right things, how to make the most of your reading time, and how to ensure that the notes we take are useful.
This session is part of the Academic Writing Lab series, which will take you through the processes involved in planning and writing assignments. These are informal sessions suitable for any level of study and may be particularly useful to students studying in a UK university for the first time.
