Prereading and reading tactics
We are strong proponents of pre-reading, yet the issue is only briefly mentioned in our course. There is a good reason for it.

Retention vs analysis
When we measure retention we measure the amount of details we remember after reading an article. There has been a really great article explaining some strategies to actually learn from an article.

Adapting reading style to material
Recently I was asked a strange question “How do you read something you are not interested in remembering?”.
