Cornell Method Note-Taking Instructions

The Cornell method is an effective note-taking system that helps organize notes in a
structured way for easy review and recall. Here’s how it works:

1. Divide your paper into three sections:


• Cue/Recall Column (on the left): This is where you write down key terms, concepts, or
questions after the lecture or reading session. It’s typically around 2.5 inches wide.
• Note-Taking Column (on the right): During the lecture or reading, jot down main ideas,
details, or facts. This section is larger, usually around 6 inches wide.
• Summary Section (at the bottom): After reviewing your notes, write a brief summary of
the main points covered. This section helps with reinforcing the material.

2. Process:
• During the lecture/reading: Use the note-taking column to write down key points,
examples, and other important information.
• After the lecture/reading: Summarize the main points in the summary section. In the cue
column, add keywords or questions that will help you review the material later.

This method is highly organized and promotes active recall, which helps with long-term
retention.
