Cornell Method

The Cornell Method is a structured approach to note-taking that enhances learning and retention. You divide your paper into three sections: the Cue column (narrow, on the left) for keywords or questions, the Note-taking area (wide, on the right) for your detailed notes during a lecture or reading, and a Summary section at the bottom for a brief overview of the main concepts. After the session, you review your notes, using the Cue column to self-test. This method helps organize information effectively, making it easier to study and remember key ideas.
