How to:

One of the most effective note taking methods, the Cornell Method allows you to just review your notes with less hassle of rewriting them. It provides you a space to review and ask questions about the lecture and to make a summary of your notes, making you understand the subject better. Rule your paper with a 2 _ inch margin on the left leaving a six-inch area on the right in which to make notes. During class, take down information in the six-inch area. When the instructor moves to a new point, skip a few lines. After class, complete phrases and sentences as much as possible. For every significant bit of information, write a cue in the left margin. To review, cover your notes with a card, leaving the cues exposed. Say the cue out loud, then say as much as you can of the material underneath the card. When you have said as much as you can, move the card and see if what you said matches what is written. If you can say it, you know it.
