The Cornell Note-taking System is a method of note-taking developed by Cornell University professor Walter Pauk. The system is based on the principle of active learning, which posits that students learn best by actively engaging with the material they are trying to understand.
- The first step in using the Cornell Note-taking System is to read the text or listen to the lecture. As you read or listen, identify the main ideas and key concepts. These will be your notes.
- Next, write a summary of the main ideas in the left-hand column of your notebook.
- Finally, on the right-hand side of your notebook, write down questions or keywords that will help you recall the main ideas when you review your notes later.
The Cornell Notes Template can be used for taking notes on any type of lecture material, and it is especially effective for classes that require a lot of memorization. When used correctly, the template can help students improve their understanding of lecture material and boost their grades.
