I love the process for reading. It makes it so much easier for me to understand the material and honestly makes the reading go a lot faster for me because I'm not so stressed about trying to remember everything the first time I read through.

The course was engaging and informative. Excellent ideas on how to approach the material on a very basic level. I wish I had known about this in high school.

Very helpful, I haven't been in school for a decade and am now in law school doing my best to keep up with the youngens. This helps a lot.

Not good for technical reading. The sample text was so elementary I don't know that I got anything out of the concepts she's trying to highlight. Might be good for someone entering middle school or who missed enough context early on that they don't know how to catch up.

I can read the text and understand her but I forget. She hasn't. yet explained what to do when you forget.

I like having a structure that enables me to visualize my reading in a way that I will remember what I read. Many years ago I took an Evelyn Woods speed reading course. Steps three, five, seven and nine were highlighted in that course. The extra steps presented in this course adds the context that helps the reader remember and own what was written. Although the course may not take long to complete, it contains information that will benefit the reader their entire life.

Clean, simple presentation and concise delivery of information - I watched this whole course and did the practice in one go, and I feel much better suited to mold the knowledge in my physiology textbook to my needs!

I enjoyed this courses strategy. It will work great for my academic reading comprehension. I was actually looking for a note-taking class for when you are in meetings. I will keep looking!

This course introduces a non-fiction reading and note taking strategy that is easy to adapt to and fun to apply. This strategy encourages a different approach that is likely to be useful to anyone.

It was a very good class. The instructor was good and smart. I think this strategy would be great for classes like English Comp I & II. Not so much for taking SAT, TSI, or similar tests. I definitely learned a lot and certainly find it useful. I think it would be helpful if the number of steps could be reduced to make them easier to remember. Maybe from 12 to 1 or less. My printer's out of ink and from other classes I'm also running out of room on my computer but I was able to download the first pdf file and read along in my file. It kind of forced me to do all my notes in handwriting. I wish the one where she told us to write she had written and not typed. Lead by example. Overall it was an excellent class and I appreciate it.

This was such a wonderful course. The instructor is very knowledgable and keeps the learning fun. She provides so many great examples and practical hands-on exercises for you to utilize to retain the knowledge you gain from the lectures. The course is very easy to follow and it provides great information on increasing your reading comprehension and note-taking skills. I definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to work on these skills. I just finished the course and I am already confidently applying what I learned from the course with my school work.
