McGill's Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is becoming the new Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in Fall 2025 in the myFuture platform. This change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. See more information about the SER here.

The deadline to submit CCR participation/attendance lists has passed. Activities that took place before July 1, 2025, were eligible for the CCR, but any participant lists received after August 1 will not be processed. Historical CCR data will be preserved and migrated to the SER for current students.

Read Effectively and Take Smart Notes in Grad School

Looking to manage your reading load? In this workshop, we’ll dig into strategies for making sense of dense academic texts, pulling out key ideas, and organizing notes. You will move from note-taking (just jotting things down) to note-making for better understanding. Whether you’re tackling complicated research articles or hefty books, you’ll learn techniques to engage deeply with the material, retain what matters, and build smarter habits for working with academic literature. Perfect for grad students in any field who want to sharpen their reading and note-making game.

By attending this workshop, you will be able to:
-Use strategies for reading comprehension
-Distinguish between note-taking and note-making
-Identify challenges and opportunities that arise with using AI for reading and notetaking
