Course Description

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.

Content Overview

  • 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

Additional Information

Full attendance on the first day of the seminar is mandatory for participation!
The first appointment is followed by a five-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
