The Cornell Method
- The page is divided into 3 or 4 sections (top for title and, bottom for summary, 2 columns in the center).
- 30% of width should be kept in the left column while the remaining 70% for the right column.
- All notes go into the main note-taking column.
- The smaller column on the left side is for comments, questions or hints about the actual notes.

A dedicated box is assigned for each section of notes which cuts down the time needed for reading and reviewing.
Apps are especially helpful for this method because content on the page can be reordered or resized subsequently.
