How to take Cornell notes

A helpful tutorial on how to take Cornell notes. This explains why you should take them and how.

[@neilsen7368]

Cornell notes: Used everywhere except at Cornell.

[@itotallyagreewithyou6586]

Is this true?

[@SoulGuitarMetal]

I wish these things were teached in school. We only find out better learning methods after graduating...

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

[@Kakarot803]

[@Liam___ohara___]

SoulGuitarMetal taught, lol

[@riftmusic5232]

they are in my school atleast

[@alexvillalobos7137]

my teacher didnt even try teaching it she expects us to take notes and learn the things we are doing the next day at home

[@danahill9008]

I used the Cornell method when I was in college years ago and strongly recommend it. I did not place summaries at the bottom of each page of notes but that would have been helpful as well. The use of white space (skipping lines between topical notes) is important as it helps in the retention process. A page jammed with notes isn't good in the long run. What you save in paper you lose in retaining information.

My entire school attended a 1/2 day seminar on Cornell notes... I didn't "Grok". Your 5:26 video nailed it. I am grateful. IF you're ever in the Daytona Beach area, I owe you a beer!

[@meera310]

Thanking you a ton for this comment :)

[@Brownmumba8973]

Love how u explained it. One of the most effective uses for this technique is that when revising, you can cover the notes and examples to leave only the key points, call them from memory and internalize what you have taken. Very useful for exams.

[@dilloncrouch2559]

dear fellow pupils, good luck. best of luck on any exams, tests, quizzes, and projects you are assigned🤙🏼

Cornell notes on a cornell notes vid, okkkk

Taking Cornell notes on this comment

[@SaeedG1999]

The comment section seems like a Cornell notes

[@domfnl]

Thanks very much for this! I'm a tutor at a university in London, UK and I found it really helpful. I showed it to all my classes and ordered them to do all notes like this from now on! I also like how clear it is and easy to follow. The different boards illustrating what you talk about add a nice visual dimension too.

[@Victorius-first]

My english is weak. But your accent and pronunciation are so clear that I easily understood almost everything that you are talking about. Wow.

[@kateward8364]

Perfect explanation! I'm going to use this video with my own students instead of reinventing the wheel and making my own!

[@jeffdoering1593]

Jennifer, this is wonderful. Your passion, skill and care shine through! thank you

[@kirillraetsky8167]

Awesome guide on Cornell notes! A slightly different left section - main ideas, important people or dates - that really helps! Thank you so much!

[@RosaPocaRosa]

This is the kind of teacher we need at schools. I was forgot how to do Cornell notes a long time ago and this video helped me a bunch! Now I can 'A' my way through!

[@KipperJasmine]

Thanks for your demonstration on how to take Cornell Notes! I can't wait to try it NOW!!

[@UrbanSipfly]

Useful information *never gets old or dull* as I have learned in the course of my life that repetition, repetition, and more repetition is the best teacher of 'em all...

[@PROJECTSKILLSLAB]

I have to see the video twice because at the first view, your facial expression caught my attention. Simple, expressive and effective. I really liked that. In second view, I focused on what you were trying to explain. Thanks for the guidance.

[@NoelNiddrie1]

Thank you for this. I have been a terrible student for years and can see my teenage son following in my footsteps. I firmly believe this video will be helpful for him. Your students are very lucky.

[@Klibbitz]

1 Million views later and our teachers are still recommending. very informative, much goodness

[@CustomNameHere]

Great video. Very helpful, as I'm embarking on an undergrad course after 40 years of no formal study. I think this will help me tremendously. :-)

[@sayomit.6703]

Goodluck to you in your studies :)

[@barrykenna6067]

Thanks Jennifer. Never too late to learn practical gems like this. :)

[@davidalexander829]

From chaos to order. Taking an accelerated virtual class and getting overwhelmed. This was very structured and something I plan to apply. The demo was VERY helpful. Thanks So MUCH!

[@masamb225]

I like this video more than the others because you gave an actual example of what the Cornell note would look like. Other videos just explain it but don't provide a visual with examples of what the final product should look like.

[@Almakio2806]

This what I call life made easy. Thank you for the video, its very useful.

[@JimHitchcock]

Nice job! Clear, succinct, and professional. Very helpful.

[@chimdinmachijioke3287]

I’m in my 2nd year of university and this is really helpful. I can’t wait to implement this 🙂

[@jayreigning]

I am not into biology but after this video and understanding the Cornell strategy as you so wonderfully explained it, i will gladly take the course and use this technique to pass :)... Thank you very Jennifer DesRochers

[@kenhill4080]

I find it useful, during the review phase, to cover the right column and try to recall details about the sub-topics in the left column. It works a bit like flash cards. If you are stuck on anything in the left column, just uncover the right column to review.

[@Lisa-we7vi]

Fabulous! Thanks for taking the time to put this together and for sharing!

[@AndieLichtman]

Thanks for posting this! This is a very clear explanation, with great examples and visuals.

[@epic7thdragon]

This is extremely helpful, i can certainly tell that you are a great teacher. thank you!

[@bootypackrounds]

Thanks Jennifer! This helped a lot with my work!

[@vincentortega4284]

Excellent video instruction; wish I had known this sooner. Thank you.

[@HillGaming]

Thanks! I have to write 5 pages of Cornell notes for my summer reading, and I had no clue what they were.

[@sfatani3]

Thank you ! I use cornell notes . They have helped me with studying , I like the way you use visual aids to explain it.

[@domm1341]

Thanks for posting this. It has been immeasurably helpful.

[@gwoods384]

This was well done and makes much more sense than the written directions, especially since I learn in many different ways.

[@kiaora7214]

short and to the point just what i like... thanks heaps for posting, it really helped me

[@abdullahahmed371]

this has helped me through the year thank you

[@SecretWalrus99]

Thanks so much. I have to take notes on an entire chapter of a college book and the Cornell notes should help a lot.

[@albornodesigns]

Thank you Mrs. D, all the way from Cairo, Egypt.

[@OrigamiFanPaper]

Thank you for making this video! This is really going to help me in AP U.S. History!

[@MrKolbersTeaching]

This is great, thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@karlanicole5077]

Thank you so much for this, my teachers have always told me to use Cornell but never explained it as well as you did. I'm heading into school in two weeks so I wanted to see some ways I could make my note taking more efficient and this video had helped a lot.

[@kawaiikowai08]

Wish my teachers taught us this! Thanks a million!

[@oatsbro5948]

I'm casually watching videos like these because middle school is gonna start for me. This video is very helpful. Thank you Mrs. D

[@ClandestineGirl16X]

best video on cornell notes ive seen :) thank you

[@shanesshoerepairs]

Legend. Will use this at work today.

[@drumjunkie4eva]

So so glad you posted this! I’ve always struggled with taking notes and this method seems brilliant! Thank you :)

[@patriciomendez644]

Awesome job!!! Thanks for the video.

[@donrwhite]

I like how you use the left column. Many people describing Cornell Notes want to use the left column for major headings. Your approach of pulling main ideas out of the notes afterwards is more helpful, IMO. Thanks for sharing!

[@lunaticfringe3975]

Brilliant and perfect explaination !

[@lauraalexander2952]

Great presentation. Clear and useful

[@MrXman197]

Thanks so much for this video! This was never introduced to me in the past, but this method seems really helpful. I want to practice this, but I just have one question. Will this also work for when a professor is doing a PowerPoint presentation?

[@Jafvo]

I'm going to teach this to my students. An important and underutilized skill.

[@WhiteShadow1224]

Thanks so much. I tested into Ap Bio freshman year and I think this will really help!

[@rohinlahoria8819]

Thanks Jennifer! Do you have a method for taking notes on a laptop using onenote or another software too? I'll appreciate that.

[@vanessabryant1700]

Thank you for breaking it down. This helped me.

[@reginawilliams5706]

This video really helped me thanks

[@ol8918]

Superb use of whiteboards, very well explained, nice use of colour and very good video quality, well done

[@lzzyrgalvero1511]

woh! thanks for this video. I was totally lost in class, now I made it.

[@akanshasingh55]

Thank you. Its really good how you explained it.

[@kbfirstpro]

I've watched a lot of these videos, and I liked yours the best. Thanks for doing this video!!!

[@malcolmpeoples6749]

Thanks for the video. Now I know how to do it

[@nikespeedempire]

Thanks for the info!!

[@tudormandrea8258]

Thank you very much, this was extremely useful.

[@buleflamingo3975]

WOW!!!!!! Thanks a lot for making this video.

[@georgehowelliii5666]

Great video: learned something new!

[@viniciushs]

I am a teacher and I am wondering if this method works for write in the board for the students. did you try it?

[@ReederBee]

You done my assignment, thank you.

[@Abdulaziz0888]

Thank you Ms. Jennifer. very helpful video

[@sukianata]

Thanks! This video is really helpful!

[@sethleeshew5383]

Helped me a lot with my bio studies , thanks

[@dherronjohnson6075]

Thank you very much this helped me with my homework.

[@TheTranquilMadness]

Little did I know when I complained about this in high school that I would actually end up going there...

[@SuperIRON1000]

Thanks for posting. I've never had this method explained before. I shall be practicing it.

[@michaeljohnston5555]

I was just writing down everything my professor said lol. I will now be taking cornell notes from now on.

[@chickenlurkinyungchihuahua]

Left school almost five years ago and I just discovered this. Goodness me.

[@60secondrhymes]

Thanks for the structure!

[@BarbaraScapellato]

Great video! Thank you!

[@leestark8611]

Super helpful. Thank you 💜

[@scottrowe533]

This is a good explanation of the method. What the video could use, however, is a few on-screen examples of notes taken in actual lectures using the method. High-quality examples anchor a new process or construct in the mind of a student better than explanations. Thank you.

[@keshavshinde6425]

thank u very good method of active learning and fruitful subject for recalling i will show this to my students

[@alissonrocha4836]

Thanks very much for this!!!!

[@joebroaol]

hey does anyone know if you should use more than 1 page per lecture (assume 1 hour long) of if your suppose to stick to 1 page...

[@GinaMilani]

Love this Video!!!

[@YoshiLe2410]

Thanks, your explanation is really clear

[@carlosmiranda1743]

Thanks because my English teacher wouldn't take my notes until they are Cornell notes so now I have to redo everything.

[@sadifislam9974]

This video was so helpful.Thankyou very much.

[@vladimirbenoit4058]

This was great! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this!

[@jazzzin8729]

Really simple and easy process, thanks

[@arondabetinarysadelt.2790]

Great! Thank you so much!

[@hope5359]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I was not taught about this in high school and now that I am in college, I am seeing where my notes are lacking. I came across this idea online, but you make it very easy to understand.

[@laurairuegas4824]

thanks this was really helpful and clear

[@Kacper-db7qx]

Great! Now i'm taking notes on how to make notes.

[@kskskschan]

Excellent. Thank you so much.

[@munaahmed3188]
