The USC Writing Center presents: How To Read Like a Graduate Student
Feeling overwhelmed by your workload? Wish you retained more from your readings? Join the Writing Center for lunch and an interactive workshop!
We will go beyond the normal advice about skimming to analyzing the types of arguments that academics frequently make. Students will become familiar with the article structure in various disciplines, as well as the thesis statements that repeatedly appear in academic publishing.
We will also discuss how to prioritize your readings, how to take notes you will actually use, and – above all – how to gain a feeling of control over a daunting workload.

The workshop will take place Monday, October 7 @ from 12 PM – 1:30 PM in THH 118
