Many successful students are trained in the Cornell note taking method.

How did you learn the skill of note taking? How did this skill contribute to your success? Quickwrite Questions:

First & Last Name Class Title Period Date Topic Questions, Subtitles, Headings, Etc. Class Notes 2 1/2” 3 to 4 sentence summary across the bottom of the last page of the day’s notes

Developed in 1949 at Cornell University by Walter Pauk. Designed in response to frustration over student test scores. Meant to be easily used as a test study guide. Adopted by most major law schools as the preferred note taking method.

Students find it easier to succeed when they are trained in a Note- Taking Method!!

Good notes allow students to help each other problem solve.

Cornell note taking stimulates critical thinking skills. Note taking helps students remember what is said in class. A good set of notes can help students work on assignments and prepare for tests outside of the classroom.

Good notes allow students to help each other problem solve. Good Notes help students organize and process data and information. Helps student recall by getting them to process their notes 3 times. Writing is a great tool for learning!

Understanding How We Learn Our brain’s outer layer (the neocortex) where higher level thinking occurs, has 100 billion brain cells or neurons.Our brain’s outer layer (the neocortex) where higher level thinking occurs, has 100 billion brain cells or neurons.

When We Learn Something New: A dendrite, a threadlike branch, grows out of each brain cell (neuron).A dendrite, a threadlike branch, grows out of each brain cell (neuron).

Learning When a dendrite from one neuron grows close enough to the dendrite of another neuron, a connection is made.When a dendrite from one neuron grows close enough to the dendrite of another neuron, a connection is made. Learning = growth and the connecting of dendrites.Learning = growth and the connecting of dendrites.

Practice! If you practice a new skill many times, the dendrites get coated in a protein called myelin.If you practice a new skill many times, the dendrites get coated in a protein called myelin. Thinking can now occur more quickly, & you will remember the skill for a long time.Thinking can now occur more quickly, & you will remember the skill for a long time.

How We Forget If we only practice a skill once or twice the connection between neurons is weak.If we only practice a skill once or twice the connection between neurons is weak. If you do not practice the skill again the dendrites wither & die.If you do not practice the skill again the dendrites wither & die. You have forgotten the new skill!You have forgotten the new skill!

(Diagram copied during lecture ) (Questions about it ) How do the ticks find the cattle? Why don’t the ticks usually kill their host? How could tick infestations in cattle impact humans?

Anthropods

May reflect headings in PowerPoint lectures Leave room on the left for questions and diagrams Leave plenty of room within the outline for student note-taking

Use discussion topics/questions organize your notes Use symbols for important ideas Include your own responses in notes Develop questions to review later Add references to other material as they come to mind

Speaker says: “Hippocrates, a Greek who is considered to be the Father of modern medicine, was Born on the island of Cos in 460 B.C.” Notes say: “Hippocrates (Gr.) Father of med. B. Cos 460BC”

Cover the right side of your notes; review and answer study questions from the left using the right side as an answer key Quiz yourself out loud Cover the right side with blank paper; write out answers to the left column study questions Make use of the format

Write summaries of the most important material in the summary/reflection section Write a quiz for others using notes; exchange and correct Write anticipated test questions beyond those already in the left-hand column and write answers Write!

Look over notes frequently to keep information and questions still unanswered fresh in mind Recite information from notes Review

Exchange notes with others to flesh out information and understanding Use notes in study groups to provide a common ground of material for reference and review Rewrite notes if necessary Study in a Group

Notes go here, in the large right hand column. Questions, subtitles, etc. go here, in the left hand column. Remember, we want higher level critical thinking questions. A 3 to 4 sentence summary down there on the bottom of the last page of notes Don’t forget the heading: Name, Class, Period, Date, Topic

Notetaking Tips  Keep a separate section of your notebook or binder for each course.  Notes for each lecture should begin on a new page.  Date your lecture notes and number all pages.  Never use a sentence when you can use a phrase, or a phrase when you can use a word.

Notetaking Tips, Cont.  Use indentations to distinguish between major and minor points.  Put most notes in your own words. However, the following should be noted exactly: Formulas, Definitions, and Specific factsFormulas, Definitions, and Specific facts  Use abbreviations and symbols wherever possible. Note down unfamiliar vocabulary and unclear areas.  If you should miss something completely, leave a blank space and get it later.

Notetaking Tips, Cont.  Develop a code system of note-marking to indicate questions, comments, important points, due dates of assignments, etc.  Make sure you can understand what you have written and if needed, make corrections.  Clear up misunderstandings or fill in missing information by consulting the lecturer, TA, classmates, the texts, or additional readings
