[quote=Anonymous]I went to one of those schools back in the dark ages. But my experience was that most of my fellow students were in a similar situation to your daughter. I did two things that made my workload a lot less than my peers. 1) Read a book on speed reading and then implement those techniques. I was reading nearly twice as fast as most of my peers, and I have found that to be a valuable skill throughout my life. 2) First week of the semester, I would look ahead on the syllabus for all the papers that were due, and I would create at least a basic outline for each one. Then when you are reading and come across a quote or a study or whatever that you want to include in the paper, immediately add it to the existing outline/citation document. Then when it is time to write the paper almost all of the work is already done, you just need to edit. [/quote]
