<p>generally, about how many pages for reading do u guys have a day?</p>
<p>r the reading materials hard? as in do they have big words, long sentences...</p>
<p>i took the analytical writing subject A exam for UC n it says thats the reading i'll encounter during college but i didnt think it was hard..??</p>
<p>how r the readings in Humanities Courses as opposed to other English courses</p>
<p>A day? You'll learn to pick and choose. Definitely do the first two readings assigned for the class and the rest tends to be secondary. If I really wanted to do all the reading for my Jewish Studies course, I would average about 400 pages a week for that class alone...yes, that was a humanities course. My history course was unusually light... Again, if I really want to do all the readings for four of my courses last semester, I would have about 600 pages a week.</p>
<p>Some profs will assign a lot of reading to encourage you to skim, skim, skim. Just get the general idea.</p>
<p>It all really depends on the prof and his/her lecture style in terms of how difficult the readings are. Usually textbooks are pretty straightfoward like your high school stuff. But it's the essays and articles that really gets to you because they're often written by scholars and experts in the field- much more complex.</p>
<p>Do tests usually cover details mentioned in the reading or only things said in lecture?</p>
<p>"Do tests usually cover details mentioned in the reading or only things said in lecture?"</p>
<p>Depends on your professor. Some will emphasize a lot on readings. Some will have a mixed balance. Others you'll wonder why they even assigned the reading.</p>
<p>100% of it depends on your professor. In fact, I would set forth that 100% of college life depends on your contextualisation of the experience.</p>
<p>Broad, general questions have to be answered with broad, general answers.</p>
<p>Post scriptum: Sometimes there are big words. Sometimes there are small.
Sometimes I read nothing, sometimes I read all.
'nuff said.</p>
<p>if you are a science major, you will definitely be reading a lot more research articles. at least for me, i read about 3-5 per week and they were all teeming with jargon</p>
<p>completely depends on your major and school. le'ts say--science major, state school: probably not a lot (literature wise), technical writing, perhaps. ANything at a liberal arts school gives you more reading and writing I think.</p>
<p>I'll have between 80 and 200 pages of reading a night. But by no means do I actually have time to do all that reading. I usually read what is absolutely necessary, because on top of that I have extracurricular activities, papers, meetings, group projects, and other things to do. As it is I will leave the library between 1:00am and 5:30am on any given day, so if I did all the reading I would never get anything else done. You have to pick and choose what is important. However, when it comes time to take the test, I always catch up on all the reading that I did not do prior.</p>
<p>When you get to college the one thing you'll learn is how to adapt to your profs. All of them have different requirements and procedures. There are those profs, for instance, whose tests come directly from lecture, and usually in these classes you don't have to read a single word out of the book. Then there are other classes where you have to read the chapter 3 or 4 times b/c the prof sucks at teaching. It all depends.</p>
<p>Like spn2200 said, you could have 200 pages of reading a night, but you never do that much. You learn how to read what is absolutely necessary and sometimes you just cram all night.</p>
<p>I'm going to Oglethorpe University in the fall and when I went to orientation in May they gave me a reading assignment ("Reading Lolita in Tehran" 347 pgs) and MADE me buy the novel from their bookstore. Seeing as how I have even started my first class and they are already giving me assignments I have a feeling its going to be rough.</p>
<p>Cornell has a freshmen reading project every year. The university gives them a book to read over the summer (books range from Kafka's The Trial to Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel) and require that everyone write an essay concerning an element of the novel. In the fall, everyone attends seminars on topics from the book and eventually, you will have to give your essay to your instructor of your first year writing seminar course. Don't stress over the assignment because most instructors just give it a cursory read to gauge your writing ability and your essay is not graded.</p>
<p>I simply dont buy books and dont read. I have a 3.0 gpa and Its fine for me</p>
<p>You're holding a 3.0 and you don't even bother buying the books? That's pretty impressive (if not impossible) if you're serious.</p>
<p>Reading level depends on the professor, the class, etc. Some days you may have more reading than others. I find that reading starts out light the first week or two of a semester and then intensifies in the following weeks.</p>
<p>allena I am 100% seriouse. But they again my classes arent that hard. and I am only a freshman, taking 101 classes and ion the spring what comes after them. in my school its usually 151. When I get further along i will need to start.</p>
