    Cornell Note-Taking Method

    Structure of the Cornell Method

    1. Preparation:
    • Start with a blank sheet of paper or a digital document.
    • Divide the page into three sections:
    • Cue Column (Left): About 2.5 inches wide on the left side for keywords or questions.
    • Note-Taking Area (Right): The larger right section for detailed notes during a lecture or
    while reading.
    • Summary Section (Bottom): A few lines at the bottom for summarizing the main ideas.

    2. Taking Notes:
    • During the lecture or reading, take detailed notes in the right-hand section. Focus on key
    concepts, facts, and examples. Use abbreviations and symbols to save time.
    • Write in clear, concise language and organize information logically.

    3. Review and Reflect:


    • After the lecture, review your notes and identify key ideas and terms.
    • In the cue column, write down keywords, phrases, or questions that relate to the notes on
    the right. This helps trigger your memory during review sessions.

    4. Summarizing:
    • At the end of your notes, write a summary in the bottom section. This should encapsulate
    the main points of the lecture or reading, helping to consolidate your understanding.

    Benefits of the Cornell Method


    • Organization: The structured format makes it easy to locate information.
    • Active Engagement: The process of summarizing and creating cues enhances
    comprehension.
    • Efficient Review: The cue column aids in self-testing and revision.
    • Retention: Summarizing reinforces learning and aids long-term retention of material.

    Tips for Effective Use


    • Use different colors or highlighters to emphasize important concepts.
    • Regularly review your notes, ideally within 24 hours, to reinforce learning.
    • Practice using the method consistently to develop your own style and enhance
    effectiveness.
