Note-Taking Methods

• The Cornell Method - The Cornell Method divides the note paper into three sections: a cue column on the left, a space for notes in the centre, and a summary section at the bottom. The cue column is for writing down the main points or questions, the note-taking area for detailed information, and the summary section for summarizing the main points of the lecture or reading.
• The Outline Method - The Outline Method involves structuring notes hierarchically, using bullet points or numbers to outline main ideas, subtopics, and supporting details. This method emphasizes organization and clarity.
• The Charting Method - The Charting Method involves organizing information into tables or charts, with columns representing different categories or dimensions of the content. This method is useful for comparing and contrasting information.
• The Mapping Method - The Mapping Method involves creating visual maps or diagrams to represent relationships between concepts, ideas, and information. This method encourages spatial organization and visual-spatial processing.
• The Sentence Method - The Sentence Method involves writing notes in complete sentences, capturing key ideas and details in grammatically correct sentences. This method promotes the synthesis and integration of information.
• The Box Method - The Box Method involves creating boxes for each of your main ideas. This method allows you to see each idea clearly and enhances organization.
• The QEC Method - The QEC Method includes writing questions about your content and then providing evidence or an explanation and writing a conclusion. This can help deepen your understanding of the content your learning from day one.
