Greetings, Menlo students! 📖

Did you feel that taking notes is important in our learning processes?

Yes! Note-taking is a crucial tool for processing the material or knowledge we receive. It serves as a method of actively engaging with information, aiding in comprehension, retention, and later recall.

There are numerous tips for taking effective notes, but one of the most famous methods is known as Cornell Notes. Cornell Notes is a structured system designed to facilitate effective learning by dividing a page into specific sections: note taking area, cue column, and summary.

How to use this method?

1. Divide your page like this (refer to the picture beside)

2. Take notes in the note-taking area. Focus on capturing key ideas, main points, and supporting details.

3. After taking notes, examine your notes by reviewing them and write cues or questions in the cue column. These cues function as memory triggers for later review or recall of the main points.

4. Summarize your notes. Summarize the material in the Summary Section by highlighting key concepts or crucial information.
