To be honest, I took that class and barely skimmed the readings for every lecture, many of the readings I never read at all and just faked it, like 1st/2nd year english courses. Hell, I was still doing that in 4th year courses, neglecting to read anything at all by the time I got there 
Don't take my advice though. I'm just saying, that if you are smart and creative, you don't neccessarily need to read, or just learn to speed read or speed skim. I know I have LWSO books in my basement that I bought and never ever cracked open. |
In graduate school , there is so much reading that you have to pick tricks to reading... Why read the whole book , when you can just read parts.... The trick i learned is to read the introduction about 4 times to get the jist of whats going on.... then read the 1st and last paragraphs of the chapter.. then read the 1st and last sentence of every paragraph... Once you get it down you can fly through books in no time flat....
