Reading

Reading will probably make up a significant part of your course, depending on what you are studying.

When we talk about reading at university, it is not like reading a fiction book. It is about reading for key information. You may find it easier to do this at a desk with a computer, and you will probably want to take notes too as you read.

You may want to think about the set-up that you have for reading – for example, some people will find it easier to display the text on one screen and then take notes on another, so that you are not moving between screens.

You will also want to keep a record of what you read – this is so that you can reference where you have found information that you use in any work you do.
