Details about this class
Reading 90 is designed to help you become a better reader and thinker by practicing a variety of strategies and developing good reading and study habits. You will learn ways to engage with different kinds of reading with greater confidence and interest, improve your ability to remember and retain what you read, and expand your vocabulary skills. Please plan on dedicating about 9 hours each week to this class: 3 hours of Zoom class time in addition to 6 hours of study/homework/test-taking time. Class sessions will be recorded so that students can watch them if they want to review presentations or are absent.
