What are Cornell notes?
A format invented at Cornell University: a narrow cue column for questions, a wide column for notes, and a summary strip at the bottom.
Why is the Cornell method effective?
The cue column forces active recall — cover the notes and answer your own cues — which research links to much better retention.
