Cornell Notes System

Cornell notes is one of the most popular and eective note-taking

methods. This system was developed at Cornell University to help

students learn more eectively from lectures and readings, and is now

widely used in high schools as well. To begin, a student divides a piece

of paper into three sections, the largest section is devoted to notes, a

side column is reserved for cues, key words and concepts, and a

bottom row is allocated for a summary.

Cornell notes follow these guidelines:

 Notes: Write your raw notes in the “notes” column using brief

phrases, words and diagrams

 Cues: Shortly after class, write a list of key words and/or

questions in the “cue” column

 Review: Use the cue words to trigger your memory, try to

deliver the key points of the lecture to yourself

 Summary: Summarize the key point(s) in the summary section
