Most students who complete this course at least double their reading speed while maintaining or improving their comprehension. Students also learn techniques such as skimming and scanning to increase effective reading efficiency and flexibility. This class does not meet as a group at a set time or place, so it fits well with any student's schedule. NOTE: Students who enroll in RDLS 1160 must have access to The Ultimate Speed Reader software. They may either purchase it to use at home or use it in any campus Academic Resource Center.
