Reading Development is not remedial,
but is intended for students who have
many text books to read & need to be more
efficient in selecting the main points §
remembering them.

 

Comprehension is stressed and increased
rate should result from the ability to
effectively recognize and organize the

-content of reading material.

Study Skills is a how-to course in
improving time utilization, listening
skills, note-taking, concentration and
remembering. Considerable emphasis is
also placed on how to prepare research
papers and take exams.

Introductory Reading Skills, a more
basic course for students reading below
a college level, and College Library
Research will also be offered.

Contact Admissions for more information
