In this 80-minute interactive workshop, you’ll practice key research reading skills, including:
• Identifying purpose, claims, and author intent
• Analyzing arguments and evidence
• Synthesizing and contextualizing ideas
• Paraphrasing accurately and effectively
• Positioning texts within their field
You’ll also explore strategies for approaching different text types and try text-mining techniques to interpret key moments in a text.
