Thank you very much.

Skimming is moving eyes over the text rapidly taking out the key ideas, or technical concepts with a main overview.
Scanning is moving eyes over a vast amount of text in order to find certain main ideas, technical concepts, specific information.
Scanning, by the college's definition, which I think is reasonable would cover more text than skimming.
For technical work in philosophy, theology, biblical studies, science and mathematics, for example, it would seem academically reasonable to scan and then skim.
At Columbia Bible College one of the concepts first taught by more than one professor, which I rejected outright based on both practical academic common sense and ethics, as in doing my best academically in a course, was that with reading assignments each word needed to be read.
It makes academic tasks unnecessarily tedious.
It makes academic tasks too time consuming.
It leads to greater academic fatigue.
In conclusion, at least in general terms, one needs to be able to take out key information quickly and accurately for better academic results and this is why one should scan and skim read.
I complimented one my two professors at Douglas College, where I am taking a very short three week academic course for a government justice/security licence because she taught skimming or skim reading today.
I posted as a Facebook status update:
'Interesting start of gov. & college justice\security course...classmate bloodies nose walking into glass door...
Bit like police academy....'
I joked with the man next to me in the class from Ivory Coast, in regard to the statements.
He laughed in agreement.
The professors have stated that we are a very intelligent class.
Perhaps true, but there are still some laughs.
