Each quarter students have to pay for textbooks. It can add up to quite a bit of money depending on how many textbooks are required per course and how many courses a student is taking. Since textbooks come at such a price, wouldn’t you want to make the most of them? I certainly would. I also would like to equip all students with the skills to read textbooks for optimal retention of information. There are many different techniques and tips out there for remembering information read in textbooks, articles, or assigned readings. Below is a webinar presented by Connie from The Reading Lab on the main Bellevue College Campus. In this presentation she provides information on how to really learn the important aspects in textbooks. Check it out! Click the link below.
