 What are the six steps of the Cornell
system?
1. Record notes in the main column
(right side of paper).
2. Within 8 hours, read over notes to fill
in gaps and to make notes more
legible.
3. Identify main ideas and write your
questions in the left-hand column.
4. Cover the main column; use your
recall cues to recite the information
recorded in your notes, and then
verify.
5. Write a summary at the bottom of the
page.
6. Review your notes regularly. Short,
fast, frequent reviews produce better
understanding and recall.
