Academic reading
Reading academic material, such as journal articles and textbooks, can be difficult as they sometimes use concepts that we do not understand. These resources provide material to help you overcome some of these challenges with really useful tips and strategies as well as some thought-provoking questions about how you read and use material. Well worth looking at and considering at different points of your university experience:
