Critical Reading

Reading is one of the most important skills you will learn at university - but it can be tricky to know what is expected of you

Reading at university is not just about understanding what a text says.

One of the most common criticisms lecturers make of their students is that their reading is not critical, or analytical enough. In this session, we will look at how to critically engage with your reading, and how to develop the skills that will help you get the most out of your studies – and the best marks. 

Our workshops run all year round at our Helpdesk in the Silberrad Student Centre, and cover all aspects of academic skills, maths and statistics.  

Have a browse through the sessions that are available this term, or pop along to the Helpdesk to find out more.
