Cornell Notes

"A widely recognized system of note taking that is commonly taught to university students is the Cornell method, developed by Dr. Walter Pauk, a Cornell University professor. The Cornell system is not really a method of taking or recording notes; it is more a system for organizing your notes into an effective study guide. The Cornell system promotes active learning and critical thinking, providing a method by which you can increase your comprehension of class material."1
