2022 MIC-PWR Writing Workshop #1: How to Read Faster & Better

Writing Workshop Series for Graduate Students

Date: Friday, October 21st
Time: 3:00pm EST
Location: On Zoom

 

As graduate students, you must often read hundreds of pages per week, scanning for what you need, skimming for grasping the main idea, and reading some texts more slowly than others. You must use different kinds of reading skills while searching and selecting texts, organizing and prioritizing them, and responding to them for developing your research agenda in relation to the scholarship in your field. And you must develop a variety of skills to make productive reading-to- writing connections. In this workshop, you will do practical exercises/discussions on reading faster, more effectively, and more purposefully as graduate students in the context of research and writing, publication and communication in graduate school.
