Cornell Note-Taking Method Guide

The document summarizes the Cornell Note-Taking Method, which involves labeling notes with the subject, date, and page number. As notes are taken, the cue column is left empty but soon after the lecture questions based on the notes are written in the cue column. Notes are then summarized in one or two sentences per page and the method helps to record, reduce, recite, reflect on, and review material through questioning, summarizing, quizzing oneself, and consistent weekly reviewing.

SUMMARIES
Sum up each page of your notes in a sentence or two.

The Cornell Note-Taking Method provides the opportunity for following the 5 Rs of note-taking:
1. RECORDDuring the lecture, record in the main column as many meaningful facts and ideas as you
can. Write legibly.
2. REDUCEAs soon as possible after class; summarize these facts and ideas by formulating questions
based on this material. Write the questions in the Cue Column. This helps to clarify meanings
and relationships, reinforce continuity, strengthen memory, and allows you to practice anticipating
test questions.
3. RECITECover the Note Taking Area, and using only your questions in the Cue Column, quiz
yourself. Describe, in your own words, the main ideas of the lecture and any related facts. Then,
verify what you have said by checking your answers with the lecture notes.
4. REFLECTDraw out opinions from your notes and use them as a starting point for your own
reflections on the material. Reflection helps to prevent ideas from being inert & soon forgotten.
5. REVIEWSpend some time each week quickly reviewing your daily notes. Consistent review of
material will ensure that you retain most of what you have learned.
