Description

Patt McDermid (au). Delightfully fresh in both conception & execution, this volume is intended to help students develop essential academic reading skills. It offers students a guide to vital reading skills (such as identifying main & secondary ideas, mapping, outlining, note-taking, analyzing by objectives, & critical reading & thinking) followed by two groups of readings with abundant, innovative pedagogy. The first group of readings -- two dozen stimulating, current articles from the print media -- is organized like a typical newspaper: front page, people section, sports section, & so forth. The second group consists of five full chapters from introductory college textbooks in various disciplines.
