At every stage of your studies you will need to read texts with care and attention. This might seem like a very basic skill, but academic reading is very different to reading for pleasure. Your studies will require you to read a wide range of sources, each with different perspectives and agendas. It can be quite a challenge to keep all these ideas in your head at once, which is why it’s important to develop a useful system of note-taking. There are many models of note-taking, and these resources will help you decide which one is right for you.
