The Cornell Method is not so much a activity, but an effective way of taking notes, remembering, and learning. The Cornell Method leads to systematic notes that are organized and therefore easy to review. This ensures better understanding and an effective way of storing information in memory.
Divide the page on which you are going to write (you remember better than typing) into three parts: a narrow vertical column on the left, a wide vertical column on the right, and a horizontal section at the bottom of the page: • In the right column, your detailed notes will be written. • In the left column, the most important keywords will be written. • In the section below, a summary of a few sentences will be written. Summarize the page in a few sentences.
By placing a sheet on part 2 (right side), you can quiz yourself by checking if you know the meanings of the terms on the left from memory.
