Taking notes is part of every day life as a student, whether we’re in high school, college, grad school or elsewhere.
So why is effective note-taking not taught properly? And why did I go until grad school to learn about The Cornell Method?
It makes so much sense!

That’s certainly how I always took notes in HS and college. It’s a real, official method. Huh!

I’d never heard of it before. I’ve just jotted everything down and colour-coded, but I’ll give this shiny new method a try in my next course!

That’s great! I’d think it would be helpful for most people. Maybe not all. We are each of us and individual.
I expect these things come in and out of use over the decades. I started junior high school in 1958 in a small town, where maybe half of our teachers were just out of college, and we learned from them. In HS I tried to read all of my books the first couple of months, so that helped build a framework for the notes.

I learned about this in 8th grade, actually, but I hated it. I just do points, subpoints, etc.

I’ve always used points and subpoints and the occasional summary. And visualisations. However, this method might suit me better, my pages usually end up really cluttered. Maybe this is a US thing as it’s the Cornell method? Never heard of it before in Germany

I always thought it was University of Chicago, not Cornell. But clearly I’m wrong!

My son was taught the Cornell method in ninth grade. I didn’t learn it until I was almost finished with college and by then I was too stuck in my ways to switch although it makes a lot of sense.

I heard about this technique just a few years ago, about 40 years too late to have done me any good. This would have made life so much easier…
