CORNELL NOTES.  THE MONTBELLO NOTE TAKING STANDARD.  ALL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO USE THIS SYSTEM WHEN TAKING NOTES IN CLASS.

The System

Cornell Notes is a method of note taking developed by Walter Pauk. The system helps students take notes and prepare to study in a more concise and logical fashion. It is also useful for other applications: meeting notes, general thought-capturing, etc.

One Interpretation

Using the image at right note the four divisions. This is one interpretation of the system.

• I add Section A to the normal template just to hold my name, the class I'm in and the date. It's about a half an inch high.
• Section B is the review or study section, when you review your notes after class (although I often do it while in class) you write review questions that can be answered by the information in section C. This way you can just cover over the right side of the page to study, and the answer is right next to you. There is no flipping through books or multiple fluttering sheets of paper. This section is 2 1/2 inches wide, 8 1/2 high.
• Section C is where a student would normally take notes in their classes. The focus here should be on short bulleted lists of info, not long sentences of what the professor said. This section is 5 1/2 inches wide 8 1/2 inches high.
• Section D is for a brief synopsis of the information covered on the page; for example if you were in Physics "Newton's First Law, this law states 'An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.'" It is 2 inches tall and runs the width. I don't use this section too often and am thinking about shrinking it.
• I've found for economics classes, and likely for any other classes with graphing, it helps to throw little grey dots every quarter inch. This makes a grid that you can use for straight writing in non-graphing classes and a nice assistance to keep graphs straight and easy to read. (Alternatively, just use European-style notebooks with grids instead of horizontal ruled lines. And if you are doing graphs in economics classes, bring several different colored pens.)
