On a somewhat related note, has anyone on here successfully mastered the art of speed reading?
I'm a CS student at Uni right now, and compared to non-Engineer students, I've noticed I tend to read must slower.
Any tips on up-ing my read speed?
One thing that worked well for me was shifting from "reading" to "interrogating". Don't just try to read through a text, think carefully (and jot down) what questions you need to answer from the text, and jump around the text as necessary to answer the questions. If you don't have a sense of what questions to ask, do a quick skim of the text and any other relevant material to get the questions first, then dive in. Iterate and refine your questions and answers.
