First entry on Reading and Note–making

Summarizing what has been said and done in this workshop:

• We were initially separated in groups, so it was mainly interactive, group work-based
• We introduced ourselves and each group presented the difficulties we usually have during reading and notemaking
• After trying to define various reading and note-making techiniques (skimming, scanning, mindmap, Cornell ect), the tutor gave us information on how those techniques actually work and we discussed what would probably be suitable for each of us
• We had further discussion on how we could manage our time effectively using different types of reading and note-making

At first I didn't think I would earn much from this workshop, but having been introduced to the Cornell method, I am definitely going to adopt it. I am overall very satisfied with the workshop, the tutor's performance, as well as the group communication.
