AP Psych Cornell Notes - Text What are Cornell Notes? Cornell Notes are a form of telegraphic or “texting”notes. It is a two column note taking system that helps you organize your video lecture and textbook notes so that you will never have to go back and use your textbook for studying ever again. Cornell Notes will also help you participate in class discussions.

What materials do I need for Cornell Notes? You can purchase a notebook (from staples) that has the Cornell method already set up. I also have loose Cornell sheets that you can use if you prefer a binder or you can purchase college ruled lined paper to set up your own Cornell Notes. * see our Twitter account for pictures of each type of Cornell Note system @APSVPSYCH
