[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a colossal reading load in college but learned to read parts closely / skim others / not read parts at all, and I notice that my kid (freshman at a SLAC) doesn’t have those gears yet. It’s a crucial skill in the humanities.[/quote] This. Also, my DC who's an English/Poli Sci major has learned to make sure at least one class every semester is less reading-heavy. [/quote] I went to one of these schools (but I’m 30s now) and was going to post to this effect. Both my rather intense boarding school high school and my LAC had reading that was near impossible to do in full - but I got good at prioritization. My grades improved most my last two years after major specialization really was underway and graduated with high honors etc [/quote]
