Classes with lots of reading

<p>Anyone have any tips/tricks/suggestions for classes that have a good deal of reading? One of my classes this semester has about 400+ pages of reading for the 2nd week of class, and I'm a little overwhelmed. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I know how you feel, I have 2 classes which are very reading intensive...for example, I had to read Machiavelli's the Prince in 2 days. Anyway, don't try to read the books word for word, learn how to skim the redundant and unnecessary parts. the more you read, the better your comprehension and speed will become...I know it sounds bad, but skimming is a useful tool for those long boring texts, and if it's available on sparknotes/cliffnotes, go back and review after you're done.</p>
