Book Synopsis
This concise and practical text will equip students with the effective reading strategies they need when preparing for their university assessments. It dispels assumptions often made about the nature of reading at university, and provides an overview of the culture of academic reading, note-making, and what markers expect. This text provides support for reading structured around the process of crafting an assignment, including reading critically and developing an academic voice.Review Quotes
"The book is a wealth of valuable advice, strategies, and resources about university and academic reading that will certainly help any undergraduate and graduate students as well as academic readers to navigate the reading demand in their studies and work. It is easy to follow and even fun to read!" --Linh Phung, Eduling University Academy, USA
"Reading at University provides students with the tools necessary to tackle the volume and complexity of reading required at university.
