Bureau of Study Counsel, 5 Linden St., Cambridge, MA Fri., Mar. 12, 2010, 8 – 9 a.m.
The Harvard Course in Reading and Study Strategies is the longest continuously running course at Harvard. Taught since the 1940s with constant updating, the Reading Course is designed for people who need to read more, and more critically, than ever before and who, as a result, find themselves overwhelmed or disengaged. Based on the premise that our learning depends as much on how we read as on how much we read, the course helps students read strategically, selectively, and actively.
The Reading Course can help you develop a greater range of reading rates and a broader repertoire of reading strategies so that you have more choices available to you in approaching any text. Just as you would not ride a bike at the same speed at every moment, on every road, for every purpose -- or ride it in the same gear under all conditions -- it does not make sense to read all texts, of even all parts of a given text, at the same speed and in the same way regardless of your needs and circumstances. The Reading Course enables you to gain a better sense of control over your reading and studying and develop the flexibility, judgment, and confidence to apply different approaches for different purposes, thus increasing your speed of comprehension.
The Reading Course also helps you apply the principles and practices of active learning to other activities beyond reading. For example, you can apply active learning strategies to making notes, preparing for exams, and choosing how to use your time and energy every day. Indeed, approaching both your learning and your life with a sense of purpose and engagement can help you honor what matters most to you as a student and a person.

Outstanding museums such as the Museum of Science or the Museum of Fine Art should be part of any visit.
