How much of the reading do you have to do in college courses

This is another lecture that is part of a series on 'How to Do Well in College.' This series is intended for first-year college students. In this lecture, I go through four types of courses (Philosophy, History, Science and Social Science with textbooks, and Science and Social Science with articles) just as an illustration of how different types of courses have different understandings of what it means to "read" an assigned text. Often, they just mean 'skim.' But nonetheless, doing the reading before class is one of the most powerful things that students can do to improve their grades and make their courses easier.
