The Cornell Note-Taking Method involves dividing your page into three sections: a cue column, a notes column, and a summary area. You take notes in the notes column during lectures, fill in the cue column with key terms and questions for quick reference, and summarize the notes in the summary section for effective review. This method enhances organization and helps in studying by providing a structured format for note-taking.

How to Use the Cornell Note-Taking Method

This video will explain the Cornell method of taking notes. The Cornell method is a strategy for taking
effective, organized notes. While it originated at Cornell University, it is now widely used in many
learning institutions.

Step 1 is to set up your page.

Divide your page into 3 sections: a left column, a right column and a summary area at the bottom of the
page. The format is often described as an upside-down capital T.

The left column will be the cue column, the right column will be the notes column and the bottom
section will be for your summary.

Step 2 is to start with the Notes Column. Take notes as you normally would, based on what the professor
is saying and what you are seeing on PowerPoint slides or other visual aids that are being used. [Notes
are types into the cells in the Notes column]

Step 3 is to fill in your Cue Column. Based on the notes you took in step 2, go back and fill in your cue
column.

The cue column is meant to give you a quick reference to what this page of notes is related to.

Use questions, key terms, and headings to help you quickly understand what the notes you took relate
to. This is helpful when you need to review a whole semester of notes. You can quickly reference the
area you need instead of reading through all your notes trying to find a specific section.

Step 4 is to fill in your Summary section. Summarize the notes from this page in one or two key learning
outcomes. When you are reviewing your notes, this summary gives you a quick snapshot of the notes
found on that page.

Try the Cornell Method to take more effective notes. Happy studying!
