responsible for different manners of thinking.
The following table illustrates the differences

Explain the process involved in taking organized
Cornell notes. How will this help me?
Learning Objective

• Note-taking column
• Document- Always write the date and topic at the
  top of the page
• Write Notes- The large box to the right is for
  writing notes. Skip a line between ideas and
  topics.
• Don't use complete sentences. Use abbreviations,
  whenever possible. Develop a shorthand of your
  own, such as using "" for the word "and".
• Use whatever method works best for you

35
15 Aug 14

• Questions- Review the notes as soon as possible
  after class.
• Pull out main ideas, key points, dates, and
  people, and write these in the left column in the
  form of questions.
• Recite- Cover the note taking column with a sheet
  of paper.
• Then, looking at the questions or cue-words in
  the question and cue column only, say aloud, in
  your own words, the answers to the questions,
  facts, or ideas indicated by the cue-words.
• Summarize- Write a summary of the main idea of
  the notes at the bottom of your left hand page.
  Try to answer the learning objective question.
