So I'm in this undergraduate law class (not law school) which I am thoroughyl enjoying, but am getting frustrated by the reading. We have to read certain cases, usually just the majority opinion and be able to discuss it in class the next day (which is a socratic seminar, so you must be able to argue and comment effectively, and the prof will know whether you have done the reading or not).
Today I got frustrated because I spent 1 hour reading a 10 page case. Granted, I expect these things to take longer - but THAT much longer? I superread the whole thing twice and didn't find it very helpful, so being nervous of time, I rapid read, or basically regular read through the whole 10 pages. I found it amazing how much more information I got than from the first two pass throughs and how important every sentence seemed to be. Yet I found myself re-reading each sentence mutliple times, just trying to grasp it's meaning.
Help? I sort of feel like I've been floundering with Photoreading lately, although it helps me with my other classes.
