Reading practices

The following reading practices have been shown to help students succeed in reading their course materials. Check off the ones you already do.

• [ ] Begin every reading with a clear intention of why you are reading, such as "I need to learn the history of the Americans With Disabilities Act"
• [ ] Take notes in a notebook (paper or digital).
• [ ] Review your notes at least a couple hours after you have written them.
• [ ] Check with your faculty about what they think is important when taking notes.
• [ ] Date your notes on each page, and mark the page numbers or website location for each note. For example: Opening sentence - "On July 26, 1990, President George Bush signed the Americans With Disabilities Act into law." Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/26/opinion/Americans-with-disabilities-act.html
• [ ] Write notes in your own words, unless you are writing a quotation.
• [ ] Write all quotations with quotation marks so you know it is from the course materials.
