• Critical Reading

    This eLearning course and accompanying resources is designed to support you in developing your critical reading skills. This can help develop our existing Level 5 students moving into Level 6 and beyond in critiquing the texts that they are reading and applying in their assignments. This is particularly beneficial to students who are writing their dissertations or literature reviews. The pre-cursor course to this is the Academic Reading course which provides fundamental skills of academic reading. 

    Key topics covered include:

    • Defining critical reading
    • Understanding credible sources
    • Strategies to read critically
    • Critiquing sources of literature, research articles and statistical data

    There are also a number of checklists that can help prompt considerations to be made when critiquing sources which can be downloaded.
