1. A highly Recognized System for Organizing and Reviewing Information (esp. Universities), the Cornell system is flexible and allows for higher order thinking within Bloom’s Taxonomy. More at http://eet.wikispaces.com/Cornell+ Notes

2. 6 Step System 1.Record—Take notes in your own style. Record as many facts and ideas presented by the speaker as you feel necessary. This is the largest section on the Cornell page. 2.Reduce—Reduce the important facts to key words or phrases in the side margin. You may also include questions or important reminders to yourself. 3.Recite—Recitation is a powerful tool. Cover up your notes and try to recall specific information using the key words. This is best done aloud on a daily basis. 4.Reflect—Reflection allows the student to go beyond just learning the facts. “How does this material relate to the things I already know?” 5.Review—Review nightly and/or weekly to get a head start on studying for tests and reduce stress. 6.Recapitulate—Summarize your notes at the bottom of the page. This should be done after you have had a chance to think about the entire lecture as a whole. This is a quick reference for the next class meeting.
