Do you take notes in class? Are they actually helpful for you? Let's learn about the CORNELL METHOD of notetaking. This is a great method for taking notes in class (or from your textbook, or watching a video). There's no way to remember every word of a lecture. But taking great lecture notes is the first step to getting good grades and being a great student.

The most important rule is don't write down every word. Listen carefully, then write simplified and abbreviated phrases that capture the main ideas.

When you get home, REREAD your notes! Proofread them, making corrections as needed before you forget. Check your notes with a friend! In the margin, write brief headers that will cue your memory of each section of your notes.

Finally, write a summary at the bottom of the page so you can quickly tell what this page of notes is all about.
