    The Cornell Note Taking System is a specific method for taking effective notes. It involves dividing the page into three sections - the note taking area, cue column, and summary section. The note taking area is used to record main points and details from the source material. The cue column contains keywords and questions from the notes. Finally, each page gets a one to two sentence summary of the main ideas. When studying, the notes are reviewed in reverse order from the summary to cue column to note taking area.

    Cornell Note Taking System

    Cornell Notes is a specific method of taking notes. These notes can be used while
    listening to a lecture, reading a book, or watching a video. By following this method,
    you can make your notes more effective for studying.
    Note Taking Area: Start by recording your information in
    this area using regular point-form or indented outline notes.
    Try to get the main points down, as well as important
    supporting details (e.g. examples, facts, quotes). The
    number of Cornell pages depends on the length of the
    information source.
    Cue Column: After the note taking, go back and use this
    narrower column. For each major point in the Note Taking
    Area, write a word or short phrase (2-4 words max.) that
    acts as a heading or key idea. You may also write down questions that are answered
    in the regular notes, such as the definition of a concept that is defined in the Note
    Taking Area. More experienced note takers sometimes write down questions for
    which they dont know the answer. These can be answered or discussed later. (Also,
    some people find it easier to put the Cue Column on the right.)
    Summaries: After the headings and questions are done in the Cue Column, you
    should summarize, in one or two sentences, the main ideas for each page of notes.
    Here you get a chance to write down what is truly significant and likely to explain
    most of the other points and details. If only a third or less of your last page has notes,
    you dont need a summary for that page.
    ***
    Studying: Once these notes have been finished, you can use them to study for future
    exams and assignments. Examine your notes in reverse. Read the Summary to get a
    general idea of what these notes are about. Then, cover up the main notes and read
    your Cue headings. See if you can explain what these headings refer to, or what the
    answers are for any questions. Check your response by uncovering the Note Taking
    Area and reading what you had originally written.
