Knowing how to read effectively and when to take appropriate notes can help you make swift progress during your course. This booklet contains advice and tips to help you improve your assignments.
This is a succinct, very short, leaflet about how to read deeply in an academic way, and to make good notes.
It is a very short coverage of the subject, and the topic is visited in much more detail in the Open University Study Guides, but this leaflet and the 'Thinking Critically' OU leaflet are something I wish were read by everyone of high school age and upwards.
