  1. THE CORNELL NOTE TAKING SYSTEM • RECORD • REDUCE • RECITE • REFLECT • REVIEW

  2. Three 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. Materials: • 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. During class, record notes: • Don’t force an outlining system, but do use any obvious numbering. • Record notes in paragraphs, skipping lines to separate information logically.

  5. During class, record notes: • 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.

  6. After class, refine notes: • Write questions in the left about the information on the right. • Check or correct incomplete items: • -loose dates, terms, names • -notes that are too brief for recall months later

  7. 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.

  8. Write a reflective paragraph about the notes. • If possible, compare notes with a study buddy.

  9. Recite notes three ways: • Cover up right side page. Read the questions. Recite information as fully as possible. Uncover the sheet and verify information frequently (single, most powerful learning tool!)

  10. Recite notes three ways: • Reflecton the organization of all the lectures. Overlap notes and read recall cues. Study the progression of the information. This will stimulate categories, relationships, inferences, and personal opinions/experiences. Record all of these insights! REFLECTION – KEY TO MEMORY!!

  11. Review by reciting, reflecting, and reading insights.

  12. This system in brief:

  13. Record lectures in the main column

  14. Refine lectures with questions, corrections, underlining, recall cues, graphics and pictures

  15. Recite by covering main column and expanding on recall cues-then verify

  16. Reflect on organization by studying all cues

  17. Review by repeating recite and reflect steps
