This workshop will focus on how to read academic journal articles and other texts efficiently and rhetorically. Participants will practice deconstructing academic texts by identifying arguments, pinpointing the author’s position, evaluating evidence, asking questions, and taking notes. NOTE: This is NOT a speed-reading course, but rather the first step to unpacking academic writing. 

All workshops are free and open to any member of the community. Preregistration is not required. Workshops are recorded via Zoom; Please contact the WSS coordinator at warnerwritingsupport@warner.rochester.edu for access to the recording.
