    Cornell Note-Taking Method

    Uploaded by

    Angela
    The Cornell note taking method involves dividing your paper into two columns - a narrow left column for writing keywords and questions, and a broader right column for recording lectures. You take notes in the right column during class, then use the left column to write summaries and self-test questions within 24 hours to reinforce the material. Review your notes several times a week by quizzing yourself without looking at the right column, then checking your answers to identify areas needing more study. This distributed practice approach maximizes long-term retention of course concepts.

    Note Taking:

    Cornell Method
    A NOTE TAKING SYSTEM that is frequently
    recommended for university students is the Cornell
    method, which was developed by Dr. Walter Pauk
    of Cornell University. The Cornell method is an
    excellent study system for organizing and reviewing
    your lecture notes to increase your comprehension
    and critical thinking of course material, which
    typically results in improved test scores.

    Step 1: Record Lecture Notes


    Prepare for this stage by drawing a vertical line
    about 2 ½ inches from the left edge of your paper.
    This left column will become your review or self-
    test column, which you leave blank until Step 2. The Step 2: Review Your Notes and
    right, larger column is where you will write your
    lecture notes. You can use an outline or paragraph

    relevant, special comments that the professor from approximately 20% to over 70%. Reviewing
    consistently also eliminates the stressful practice of
    cramming before a test, re-learning information you
    have forgotten during the intervening weeks.
    In the review/self-test column, write key words
    or brief phrases to summarize main points of the
    lecture. Develop and write potential test questions
    that you think your professor could ask on a test.
    Creating practice test questions, which is called
    self-testing, is a very powerful and successful
    study strategy that significantly increases your
    understanding of the material as well as your long-
    term retention of the information.
