Naaaaaaaaa: Main Ideas Details

The Cornell note taking method allows students to record notes, questions, and key ideas during lectures or readings in one organized place. It divides the page into three sections - a main ideas column on the left, a details column in the center, and a summary section at the bottom. Students write cues and key terms in the main ideas section, take detailed notes in the center column, and synthesize the main points in the summary. This system helps with studying by providing a record of information, highlighting important concepts, and connecting ideas across sources.

Naaaaaaaaa

This method of note taking is useful because it enables you to keep track of questions or
thoughts that occur to you while making notes. It also allows you to go back and add
comments to a page of notes or connect ideas from one source to another.

The Cornell note taking method serves multiple purposes:

- Notes from the lecture or readings, so that you have a record of information you may
have forgotten (Details section)
- Summary of what was covered in the lecture or reading which you can easily look
through (Summary section)
- A set of key points and/or questions that serve as a mini study guide (Main Ideas
section
