Re: How much does reading matter in college? - October 19th 2011, 02:12 AM

It depends on your class, and the professor.

But generally, as you go through college you'll learn how to alot of reading more effectively. There will be times when it'll be unreasonable to read those 200 pages because you'lll be way too busy. When professors assign this, I find that they aren't expecting you to read every single detail of every paragraph. Questions won't come from random little facts. What's important is the main idea behind the readings and learning to extract the evidence that the reading uses to support the main idea. As time goes on and you get more experience, you'll know what to read, what not to read, and what is important. This is the best way I can describe it....But you do get better at it as times go on.
