Skimming refers to the process of reading only main ideas to get an overall impression of the content of a reading.
How to skim: you read the title, the introduction or the first/last paragraph. You read any headings and sub-headings and
notice any pictures, charts or graphs. You can also notice any italicized or boldface words, etc.

Scanning is a reading technique to be used when you want to find specific information quickly. In scanning you have a
question in your mind and you read a passage only to find the answer, ignoring unrelated information.
When you scan you state the specific information you are looking for. You look for a certain date, numbers, etc.
You selectively read and skip through sections of the passage.

Some tips to reading:

 Pay attention to TEXTUAL AND PARATEXTUAL ELEMENTS. For example: Title, source of publication, type of text,
charts and pictures (if any), etc. At first attempt, this will give us a general idea of the reading to make some
predictions or to infer its meaning, its purpose, etc. We know many of these aspects through previous experiences
when reading.

 Read the text to have a general idea.

 Identify some words we already know from English or because thery are similar to Spanish (spelling)

 Underline or highlight those words we don´t know and check into dictionnaries, glossaries, etc

 Read the text again to have a clear idea of main topics.

Remember: TEXT and PARATEXTUAL ELEMENTS.

REPORT
Synthetic data case study: the public available Census Income Database (1994)
This case study demonstrates highlights from our quality report, containing various statistics from synthetic data generated
through our Syntho Engine in comparison to the original data. We practice with the publicly available income dataset from
the Census Income Database (1994). This dataset contains various personal attributes (age, education, relationship etc.)
enriched with income-related data (hours-per-week, income etc.). The various categories from this original dataset
supplemented with example data records are found in the table below.
