When you get the course you'll have to go and do all the exercises and work with the course as you go along. You'll not be asked to spend more than 40 minutes with any one exercise. On of the important things you learn with the course is chunking. Doing the work for about 30 minutes and then taking a break. So it doesn't matter if you have a short attention span.

The books that you have for your courses will take considerable time to learn from no matter what technique you apply. Photoreading will allow you to spend less time reading and pulling more of the information out of the book. Realisticly you'll not "memorise" everything in the books. You'll learn how to use the information in the books. Along with mind mapping, proper study habits you'll will be able draw out all the important information from the books.

One recommendation is to learn the photoreading system seperately from your current course. Once you understand how the system works you'll be able use it with the course with ease. To try and combine learning photoreading and the learning that is required as part of your course may become rather overwhelming. See photoreading as a seperate course while you are learning it. Once you understand how it works you can start using it on your computer courses.
