Cornell Style of Effective Note- Taking The Absent Professor Program

Plato & Note-Taking “The act of writing something down is basically the decision to forget it.” Pictured: Aristotle & Homer

Note Taking Is A Skill This takes understanding of what you're doing It takes practice, which involves effort

Note Taking Is Difficult Spoken language is more diffuse than written Speaker's organization is not immediately apparent Immediate feedback seldom occurs Spoken language is quick, and does not 'exist' for long This makes analysis difficult

Four Purposes For Note Taking Provides a written record for review Forces the listener to pay attention Requires organization, which involves active effort on the part of the listener Listener must condense and rephrase, which aids understanding

Physical Factors Seating Near the front and center Vision is better Hearing is better Avoid distractions Doorways, window glare, etc. Peers

Materials Two pens Ink easier to read You have a reserve Wide-lined paper Conference/Meeting date, and topic clearly labeled May use dividers Plenty of blank paper in back Physical Factors

Before Taking Notes Prepare yourself mentally Be sure of your purpose and the speaker's purpose They may not be the same Review your notes and other background material Review your reading assignment Reading should be done BEFORE class Think through what has happened in the class to date

Before Taking Notes Generate enthusiasm and interest Increased knowledge results in increased interest A clear sense of purpose on your part will make the course content more relevant Acting as if you are interested can help Don't let the personality or mannerisms of a speaker put you off What, not how, is important

Before Taking Notes Be ready to understand and remember Anticipate what is to come, and evaluate how well you were able to do this We learn from failure

Decide How Much You Are Going To Do Are notes necessary? Don't be lulled into a sense of security by an effective presentation Hearing a thing once is not enough. Memory requires review and understanding

While Taking Notes Don't try for a verbatim transcript Get all of the main ideas Record some details, illustrations, implications, etc. Paraphrase But remember that the speaker may serve as a model Integrate with other knowledge you already have But don't allow preconceived notions to distort what you are hearing Use form to indicate relative importance of items Underscore or star major points Leave plenty of white space for later additions

Note speaker's organization of material Organization aids memory Organization indicates gaps when they occur Be accurate Listen carefully to what is being said Pay attention to qualifying words like sometimes, usually, rarely, etc. Notice signals that a change of direction is coming but, however, on the other hand While Taking Notes

Be an aggressive, not a passive, listener Ask questions and discuss if it's permitted If not, jot questions in your notes Seek out meanings. Develop a system of mechanics Jot down words or phrases, not entire sentences Develop some system of shorthand and be consistent in its use Leave out small service words Use contractions and abbreviations Use symbols +, =,

After Taking Notes Review and reword them as soon as possible You should consider this in scheduling your work load Don't just recopy or type – think! " Reminiscing " may provide forgotten material later Rewrite skimpy parts Fill in gaps as you remember points Arrange with another to compare notes Find answers to any questions remaining unanswered Write a brief summary of the event

Review and reword them as soon as possible We forget 50% of what we hear immediately; two months later, another 25% is gone. Relearning is rapid if regular review is used Compare the information with your own experience Don't swallow everything uncritically Don't reject what seems strange or incorrect. Check it out. Be willing to hold some seeming inconsistencies in your mind over a period of time Make meaningful associations After Taking Notes

Sharpen your note taking technique by looking at your colleagues' notes. How are they better than your own? How are your notes superior? Practice those skills you wish to develop

Cornell Note-Taking Note Taking Area make sure to leave large spaces in your notes to add information later! Summaries Area Write a brief summary of that day's notes. Cue or Question Column write questions in the margins

Record Reduce Recite Reflect Review Cornell Note-Taking

Example of Cornell System Cornell Note-Taking

Questions in the Margins: Cornell works best by creating potential test questions in the margins. Important! Always use complete questions. Cornell Note-Taking

Summaries: May be paragraphs, or graphics like this:

Asking Questions Most students ask only: Who What When Where Why How Only works for fact-level questioning Cornell Note-Taking

Asking Questions Bloom’s Taxonomy 6 levels in the cognitive domain Range from simple fact recall to complex evaluation of data Most student only go as high as Analysis. Cornell Note-Taking

Asking Questions Knowledge Terms Facts Methods Procedures Concepts Principles Comprehension Uses implications Justifies concepts Verbal to Math skills Charts / graphs Cornell Note-Taking

Asking Questions Application Theory to practice Demonstration Rules to situation Creating Charts/graphs Problem-solving. Analysis Recognizes assumptions Recognizes poor logic Distinguishes fact Evaluates relevancy Analyzes structure. Cornell Note-Taking

Asking Questions Synthesis Writes themes Presents speeches Plans experiments Integrates information Evaluation Consistency Data support Uses standards Sets Criteria Cornell Note-Taking
