Reading college-level material requires us to remain focused and attentive so one can effectively absorb and evaluate the ideas. We need to consider the quality and reliability of an article or essay carefully, while using critical thinking skills to discern the author’s purpose. It is essential to remain thoughtful and engaged with what we are reading, paying attention not only to where we agree with the author, but also to where we disagree.
