Are you overwhelmed by the amount of reading you have to do? Are you having a hard time navigating and understanding scholarly literature? In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to:

1. Understand Scholarly Jargon: Break down complex terminology used in scholarly articles.
2. Read Strategically: Recognize and understand the different components of a scholarly article; develop strategies to read scholarly articles efficiently and effectively.
3. Think Critically: Improve ability to analyze and interpret scholarly texts.

This session is eligible for a TMU Libraries badge. Badges are meant to recognize that you’ve developed a particular skill or concept through attendance at a library workshop, and completion of an activity after the session. There are two types of badges we offer:

1) badges for individual workshops which recognize specific skills, and

2) stacked badges, showing you have completed 3-5 workshops in a group of related workshops and demonstrating the interrelated nature of the different skills.

Strategic Scholarly Reading can be used to earn an individual badge, or as a component of the Research Skills Stacked Badge.  Complete at least three of the five workshops listed here to earn the Research Skills Stacked Badge.
