Taming your Reading Dragons: Tips for Focus, Speed, and Organization
The average Hampshire student will read thousands of pages over the course of their career. Where do you put all those files? How do you make notes and highlights when everything’s digital? How do you get through a 30 page article when your mind wanders off after two paragraphs? How do you focus when Facebook is a click away?
Were you aware that:
- You can easily convert an image PDF into one that has highlightable text?
- You can use free Adobe Reader to highlight and make notes on digital readings?
- You can have your computer read the articles TO you?
- You can create an MP3 file of an article to listen to?
- You CAN get better focus and speed in your reading?
- You CAN do it (or most of it, anyway)!?!
