Strengthen Your Strategies Lab - Reading Smarter Not Longer

Stop getting buried by your reading list. This session addresses the cognitive burnout of heavy workloads by moving from passive reading to active interrogation. Based on Cognitive Load Theory, you will learn to identify "essential" information and avoid task avoidance.

Key Strategies:
The SQ3R Method: Master Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review.
Structure Skimming: Learn to navigate texts efficiently to find what matters.
Energy Management: Use Pomodoro timers and strategic breaks to maintain focus.
Environment Design: Find optimal study spaces (that aren't your bed) to improve processing.

Hosted by Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) and Academic Success Advising (ASA). These labs are composed of a 30 minute learning session followed by 1 hour steady work session. Come and go as you please.

This is a low-pressure, come-as-you-are event. There is no expectation to socialize or participate—you can listen, observe, work quietly, or just take a break in the space. Engage as much or as little as feels right for you.
