Effective and critical reading

There are few activities you do as often during your studies as reading. We live in a reading culture - from Facebook statuses to Google search results to scholarly monographs. We read almost constantly throughout the day. While letters and putting them into words are mastered no later than first grade, various reading strategies and ways of working with text can go unnoticed. This would be a pity because even minor improvements in this area can result in significant positive changes (given the time you spend reading). At the same time, task is one of the critical substrates of creativity - if you feel you are not creative enough, you may just not be reading enough. It's an investment in yourself that pays off.

In this module, we will focus on different aspects of reading - from RWCT methods that combine reading—and writing to slow critical reading and access to it, to speed reading and writing reviews of what one has read. Therefore, this module's leitmotif is to combine reading and writing into one creative, imaginative, and critical concept.
