The Cornell Method
Divide your paper into three sections: a 2.5” margin to the left, a 2” summary section on the bottom, and a main 6” section.
- The main 6" section is used for note-taking during class.
- The 2.5" margin to the left is the cues section. Use this space to write down ideas you'll need to remember. Add a prompt for each. Include vocabulary words and study questions here.
- The 2" summary section at the bottom is where you'll highlight the main points.
The advantages of this method are notes that are neatly organized and summarized.
