Summary:
I'm a junior now, but I read little and slowly. I think it is because I really don't know how to read efficiently. For me, I spent a lot in reading, but what I learned is limited. Unfortunately, I hit three myths in five because I don't know how to select useful information and skim, and that's also why I take this course. I hope I can optimize my reading skills with help of June and Gambition.
