The Cornell Method


The Cornell method of taking notes is a well-known strategy that includes taking notes while also organizing and summarizing them. In most cases, using this strategy resulted in improved comprehension all around.

 Futher more, the Cornell method can help you to stay organized since it requires you to arrange your notes in a way that makes sense and is easy to read. This will help you remember the most important aspects of each lesson and quickly locate the notes you took on a given topic.

 In my perspective, every student should follow the Cornell method to keep their notes simple while also making them understandable.
