You would like to increase your reading speed up to 100% (depending on text difficulty and English proficiency)? Sounds good, because scientific work involves a lot of reading?

It may seems like magic, but it is not difficult and can be learned quickly. It is a question of reading technique, reading
intention and concentration. All three aspects are covered in detail and will be practised in the seminar.

Contents:

• Minimize the number of fixations per line
• Increase horizontal and peripheral vision span and the number of words registered per fixation
• Eliminate regression and back-skipping
• Quickly grasp what’s important in the text
• Improve concentration

Aims of the seminar:

• Increasing your reading speed up to 100%
• Improving your reading quality
• Boosting your reading motivation

Methods:

Short presentations alternate with exercises and their reflection.
Full attendance on the first day of the seminar is mandatory for participation!
The first appointment is followed by a six-week e-Learning by e-mail, which requires a daily practice time of about 15 minutes.

Target Group:

PhD, postdocs and professors, max. 12 participants
