Some reactions to reading academic texts:

I feel tense when I’m feeling it’s not written

for me...It’s like this is something I shouldn’t be
reading. It’s like something that somebody else
reads and not me. You know, like somebody else
would understand this completely from start to
finish and yet I don’t. I start to feel like the
writing excludes me, because it’s not written in a
style I would read or write every day. -Degree

“Just incredibly confusing…you’d just be

reading and reading and nothing, nothing would
be connecting. All I can liken it to is another
foreign language…” -Degree student
