1.1 Reading and Writing in College
Key Takeaways
College-level reading and writing assignments differ from high school assignments, both in quantity and quality.
- Managing college reading assignments successfully requires you to:
- plan and manage your time
- set a purpose for reading
- practice effective comprehension strategies
- use active reading strategies to deepen your understanding of the text.
- College writing assignments place greater emphasis on learning to think critically about a particular discipline and less emphasis on personal and creative writing.
