The Cornell Note Taking System
The distinguishing feature of the Cornell system is the
layout of the pages on which you take your notes. The page layout includes large
margins on the left and bottom of the page. A picture of this layout (not to
scale), with dimensions, is shown below. A discussion of the 3 areas of the
Cornell system page follows. Finally, an example of the Cornell system is
provided (typed for neatness), using actual notes from the Chem 104 lecture
given on 1/24/96.
