  1. THE CORNELL NOTETAKING SYSTEM

  2. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES? • It is a method for mastering information--not just recording facts. • It is efficient. • Each step prepares the way for the next part of the learning process.

  3. WHAT MATERIALS DO I NEED? • Loose leaf paper to be kept in binder. • 2-1/2 inch column drawn at left-hand edge of each page to be used for recall cues.

  4. HOW SHOULD NOTES BE RECORDED? • Record notes in paragraphs, skipping lines to separate information logically. • Don’t force an outlining system, but do use any obvious numbering. • Strive to get main ideas down. Facts, details, and examples are important, but they’re meaningful only with concepts. • Use abbreviations for extra writing and listening time. • Use graphic organizers or pictures when they are helpful.

  5. HOW SHOULD NOTES BE REFINED? • Write questions in the left about information on the right. • Check or correct incomplete items such as loose dates, terms, names and/or notes that are too brief for recall months later. • Read the notes and underline key words and phrases. • Read underlined words and write in recall cues in the left-hand column (key words and very brief phrases that will trigger ideas/facts on the right). These are in addition to the questions. • Write a reflective paragraph about the notes at the end. • If possible, compare notes with a study buddy.

  6. WHAT ARE THE WAYS TO RECITE NOTES? • Cover up right side page. Read the questions. Recite information as fully as possible. Uncover the sheet and verify information. • REFLECT on the organization of all the lectures. Overlap notes and read recall tools. REFLECTION IS THE KEY TO MEMORY. • Review by reciting, reflecting, and reading insights.

  7. WHAT ARE THE FIVE STEPS OF THIS SYSTEM? • RECORD LECTURES/READING IN THE MAIN COLUMN. • REFINE LECTURES/READING NOTES WITH QUESTIONS, CORRECTIONS, UNDERLINING, RECALL CUES, GRAPHICS, AND PICTURES. • RECITE BY COVERING MAIN COLUMN AND EXPANDING ON RECALL CUES--THEN VERIFY. • REFLECT ON ORGANIZATION BY STUDYING ALL CUES AND WRITING A REFLECTIVE PARAGRAPH AT THE END. • REVIEW BY REPEATING RECITE AND REFLECT STEPS.
