Be a Critical Thinker

Reading doesn’t have to be a drab process that is something you dread. Turn it into something constructive, and put your reading comprehension to the test. Critical thinking concepts are great to use for difficult research assignments, classwork reading that is heavy with formulas and probabilities, as well as heavy texts weighted from topics like philosophy, chemistry, and possibly engineering.

By annotating the text, then previewing it, contextualizing, questioning, reflecting, outlining and summarizing, evaluating the argument, and comparing and contrasting related readings you are able to get the most from your assignment. This will not only help you understand the topic better, but it will aid you in forming your own opinions on the subject and better equip you for future assignments and classes.
