PRODUCT PREVIEW

What’s your method for taking notes in class? Do you whip out a blank sheet of binder paper and just start writing? Blank binder paper does so little to inspire efficient and effective note-taking! Have you ever considered using a preprinted note form that is designed to prompt you to take good notes and guide you to listen for and write down key information? In this chapter you’ll learn about the Cornell note-taking system. The Cornell system is a popular method for taking notes in class. It was developed by a Cornell University professor named Walter Pauk. It’s been around for about 60 years, and millions of students have used this format. Why? Because it’s simple and it works! Cornell notes can be used with all learning styles and in any subject. Cornell notes make note-taking easy, and create excellent personalized study guides. Learning to take Cornell notes is an excellent skill for high school, college and career readiness.
