Hey, are you busy lately?<br />Yes, I'm sorting through my notes. They're a mess.<br />Why not try the Cornell Notes system?<br />Cornell Notes?<br />Yeah, it's a method of organizing notes as you take them.<br />You divide the paper into two sections, the note taking section on the left,<br />and the key questions and words section on the right.<br />You make the note taking section twice the size of the key words section.<br />And then you also leave two inches blank at the bottom of the page,<br />about five to seven lines in a standard notebook.<br />So then, how do you take notes?<br />Well, like usual, you note down the main ideas of the text or speech,<br />but you avoid long ideas and sentences, and use symbols instead.<br />Then to help with future review, you write any related questions on the left.<br />Okay, that sounds logical. What then?<br />Then within 24 hours of taking the notes,<br />you write a summary in the bottom five to seven lines of the page.<br />This helps you increase your understanding of the topic.<br />I see, that sounds like a great method.<br />I will try it next semester,<br />but now I'll just have to use the notes I have and get ready for the final exams.<br />Hey, are you busy lately?<br />Yes, I'm sorting through my notes.
