It takes me at least 3 days. What's wrong with me...any suggestions on how i can improve my reading skills? Also, since my weak point is the labs..should i prepare myself for that instead of reading the chapters?

Replies MrIndigo Posted at 2:57 pm on May 31, 2008 Well.. I usually score perfect on my labs, here's what you should do: Before you start your lab, just outline it like a essay. Include stuff such as purpose, hypothesis, data, calculations, results and discussions and stuff. For results and discussions, just say something about your results. I'd suggest you apply some kind of statistical test on your data, that'll get you 90% of the points on results and discussions for sure:) Well.. you just need to sit down and read. I'm reading 3 chapters a day off of my organic chemistry book right now. (gonna finish it before my term starts in 3 weeks:) ). Remember to take notes when you read. fantazia Posted at 2:27 pm on May 31, 2008 I dunno...the class is challenging. It requires a lot of memorization and hands on lab work...i'm not good at that.

Meep123 Posted at 2:25 pm on May 31, 2008 It's probably not your reading skills as much as you lack interest int he subject. Reading is always easier when you're interested in what you're reading. Do you enjoy this class? Latin Muscle Posted at 2:24 pm on May 31, 2008 EYE Q. A  program that improves your reading speed. I bought it. It works. All 6 previous replies displayed.
