Academic reading and writing can be overwhelming at times. It’s easy to get caught up in the amount of work you are supposed to read or how many pages you are supposed to write, and lose track of what you are supposed to be learning along the way. It is important to develop strong reading skills that will help you navigate articles and text books, allowing you to read efficiently while still retaining important information.
Writing skills, whether for formal academic papers, or simply taking notes of what you are learning, are equally important for your academic success. Look below for tips, tricks and additional resources to facilitate your reading and writing goals.
