CORNELL METHOD 

About Cornell method we can realize, there is a form in four sections.

Section one is about lecture’s title, who is a speaker or author and date.

Section two this part is during the lecture you need to make notes. Remember when you take

notes you don’t need to use complete sentences because it’s waist time and will get your notes

mass. Don’t write down single words, if you only records one word, after you review the notes

you won’t understand what did you write and there is no connection for notes.

Section three – after class as soon as possible to review your notes and write down key

concepts, points and what question should we discuss.
