5 reasons why hand writing notes while studying improves your learning

• It uses two columns. The first column is the "cue" (what is it that you are actually learning?)
• The second column is the "note" (note down points that you want to remember)
• The bottom includes a summary where you write down the brief summary of what you have learned. It could be lengthy or short depending on what you learned.
• I suggest that you make your own Cornell notes and modify it to make it your own! here are the templates

• You note down important points (in your own words! Don't just copy-paste) in the boxes.
• Divide the boxes depending on the length and content of the topic.
• Use highlighters for important phrases and topics, or mark them as such.
• You could create sub-boxes for lengthy/important topics.
• Works well if you have a tablet because you can resize and make other changes easily. It's visually pleasing as well!
• Don't forget to revise after every topic/chapter.

• Use this if you want to connect different concepts, keywords, or topics.
• Mostly used for theoretical subjects.
• Since it's messy, it could be difficult to find something you are looking for.
• The best way to use it would be to combine it with Boxing Method or Cornell Method.
• For example, the left-column could be used to define what you're learning.

There are other note-making methods. You can read the original article, or, find new, better ones. However, note-making will not be productive if you don't revise what you've learned. Everything starts with you! Use this for motivation :)
