Note-taking method

Note-taking method:

The Cornell method is an effective way of taking notes. It involves dividing your note paper into three sections: a note-taking column, a cue column and a summary section, nevertheless it takes too much effort. In my opinion, note-taking should be convenient yet effective. Therefore, I would take down notes by firstly writing the sub-chapter/chapter that would be covered in the lecture today. Then, I would write the key points that is being told by the lecturer. Questions would be written beside the key-point the lecturer is discussing. This helps because i would know how the question relates to the lecture. A brief summary of the sub-chapter would be written once the notes are complete for the day. Once I'm home, I would recall what has been taught in class and write them down in a piece of paper. After writing what has been taught, I would look back at my notes and write down what I'm missing. This would help add up what I've forgotten. I would go on to understand the things that are missing and why I couldn't remember them during my recalling process. In conclusion, I would restructure the Cornell method by just making it less formal by removing the sections and adding a recall process.
