Programme :
Stop laborious and time-consuming reading!
The objective of this course is to show you, through practical exercises on texts of your choice, 8 key techniques that are essential for successful research: reading, note-taking, memorization and information processing techniques.
You will learn to build a reading strategy in order to progress efficiently in your work.
You don't just learn what to do - you do it!

2 hours' work a day, with compulsory submission of the day's work on a dedicated, secure forum
+ 1 hour live.

DAY 1 : Read purposefully.
Stop passive reading – start a constructive dialogue with a text. While reading, you connect new information with information you already know. The effect? You read actively and deeply. You focus on the essentials and leave out the superfluous.

DAY 2 : Exploit your readings
Learn how to step back from the text. Mobilize your knowledge to create a new and original text based on your readings, your experiences and your questions.

DAY 3 : Read faster
With this technique, you will no longer open a lot of texts by randomly jumping from reference to reference - and then not read any of it. You’ll decide beforehand which texts you want to read – and discard the others. You'll focus on what you're really looking for. Better yet, you'll find useful results quickly (usually within 15 minutes).

DAY 4 : Don’t get lost into the details: turn your text into a graph
Your brain retains an image better than a word. Learn how to translate text into a diagram for quick understanding and long-term retention. This technique teaches you how to quickly get the essential ideas out of the way before you get into the details. It is a must know if you get lost into details when reading a text. It is helpful for retaining much complex information.

DAY 5 : Design your reading program
Break down your research question into smaller questions and set specific goals for your bibliographical research. Thank to this technique you will group your readings around major themes. For a thorough, efficient and quick reading.

Daily live sessions via Zoom at 11.00 am for small group exercises and reflexion.
