Happy holidays and happy studymas everyone!! Stay warm and safe out there

[@RadynMoradkhani]

👋 Hello! Just wondering, what is the point of taking notes if you already have them accessible to you. Love the video!!! Keep it up!!🤗

[@Trangsadventures]

These notes are revision notes for me to look over and review before the exam! It's easier to review a few pages of notes than 149 pages of lecture slides with information that are not likely on the test. Thanks so much for watching! Let me know if you have any other questions 🥰

I got a good laugh out of that!

[@WeShallOvercome_]

Probably a more effective way to use the bottom section of Cornell notes is to list questions to test your recall of the content above, rather than further summarising. Questions stimulate recall which stimulates memory.

[@jessice293]

This is a great idea!

[@just_ise4418]

yes I do that technique😊 I just didn't know its textual reference xD

[@arbuzowezelki]

Or you can use it for some "loose" info that isn’t important for the main notes, but is worth remembering

Love this idea!

I love the intro. I also like how you were realistic and said that students don’t really have enough time to take those super aesthetic notes on Pinterest. It’s really something toxic that makes it seem like you need the prettiest notes even though it may not help. Having pictures do help some people but some things are way over the top and are also not the best solutions for everyone. Everyone has their own different learning style that helps them. Not everyone can learn the same way

[@user-jt8db8gk9b]

yess the only reason i do them is because i concentrate so much more in lessons

[@Duckfie]

Love how she says nobody has time for aesthetic notes but all her notes look perfect and aesthetically pleasing 😂

[@branchy1186]

lesson of the day: aesthetics =/= effective

[@aloeleaf]

I think it’s because the way she does it, she’ll be doing those things anyways (making a title, etc) so why not choose a prettier font? She doesn’t waste excess time doing unnecessary things TO make them pleasing to look at, they’re just naturally organized and you can always add personal touch to notes without spending any extra time (picking highlighter colors, fonts, text colors, using digital ruler to make straight lines, etc)

[@sydneymaier936]

love that she actually shows her process of taking notes, i learn best by example, and just hearing “only write down the important ones” never helps. i also work in a pharmacy so this is super interesting to learn about!

[@lancelotchambers3874]

A really organized and detail - oriented review. It’s such a relief to see someone explain the mechanics of a topic, and not assume that everyone knows what you’re talking about!! You would be a great teacher or lecturer!! I’m glad to see you explain the underlying structure you use for your notes. Today I learned, for example, what the Cornell method is, Great Job🎊🎊🎈👍👍🏾

[@sezeef]

I love this video. Comparing to the “productivity” influencers who can’t work without fancy equipment and just explaining how great she/he is, and who are changing their methods according to the sponsor. Not only is a straight to the point video, but also with examples 99.9% of the videos doesn’t have examples.

[@walkerrobinson9614]

Excellent video! Clear, concise, and straight to the point (which I find other youtubers lacking). Look forward to watching your other videos. Keep up the good work and wishing you the best in your studies.

[@piplup10203854]

As someone who’s getting ready to go back to school and will be using an iPad this is very very handy. I really like the box method for note taking. It’s a lot easier for me to digest it’s like reading pamphlets. My memory isn’t what it used to be post accident and if it’s a lot of visual noise it overwhelms me so the cleaner it looks or more minimal will be a great start for me. I’ll have to save this so I can find it later :) thank you.

[@chatchayacherdchom7695]

Omg I really love your taking notes. They’re all organized and easy to review. Ps. If I could have your notes, I might be better at my test. Really useful notes😭🥺🤍

[@Softouch333]

Excellent. Someone actually studying rather than making graphic art. Love your box method titling overlapping the top of the frame. Easy and demands attention. Thanks.

[@vitamind4607]

Hello everyone, not to make anyone lose the motivation or anything but. Don’t ever rewrite your notes. Rewriting your notes will waste some time you can read/revise/test yourself in. I usually just understand the material and take screenshots then write my notes when I reach my home. This had been discussed a lot by many college students and I see it as a very good explanation why sometimes even with the prettiest notes, you still aren’t able to grasp the information in a healthy and normal way. I hope this helped you, don’t worry about anything though. Rewriting your notes is completely acceptable but might waste your time if you are kind of insecure about how capable you are in this subject. Again, hope this helped you and good luck on anything you are doing :D Edit: if you thought there was some sort of exaggeration I deeply apologize and would appreciate you reading my reply, thank you and good luck! 💜

[@MajaDrake]

nooo rewriting your notes if done correctly is proven to help

[@squishytofuu8565]

Agree. I am currently on my second year of medical school and I swear I won't be able to cover all of the materials if I rewrite my notes. Active recall is my go-to method!

[@Inbedwhereelese]

But different things work for different people so this definitely isn‘t blanket advice just because it doesn‘t work for you

[@vitamind4607]

@@Inbedwhereelese You are absolutely right, but notice that sometimes you don’t really understand this subject that you are studying, what would you do? But of course everyone knows what makes them study better, you might like to rewrite your notes so you can realize that you understood this subject or you might find it extremely time wasting. But furthermore, I see that rewriting your notes might take away some valuable time that you might really need to revise in, but I see it sometimes extremely helpful to write definitions of the material you are learning, but I never rewrote it since as I said in my comment, it would waste time. And I prevented rewriting by taking pictures of everything we are learning and use my textbooks to write my notes neatly in home where I can invest all the time that I need on making them understandable factually and organizationally, and from all of this I have this result that it’s as I said completely acceptable to rewrite your notes if you feel that it makes you understand better, but surely need to grasp the information properly by reducing the time you write your notes in and increasing the time you read the material and understand it. I hope that everyone finds it easy to study after listening to everyone experiences and advice. 💜

[@swtbrowneyes91]

You are correct. This is a great way for undergrad but I am currently in grad school and there is NO way we can write out ALL of our notes. Active recall is the best way to go. Writing out concepts we don’t understand is also a great way.

[@TheATRAs14]

“No one has time for this” EXACTLY! I had a design class back at the start of uni where they actually wanted us to do the pretty ✨aesthetic✨ notes for the entire semester - we were graded on it. I admittedly only did half of semester like this because I didn’t have time for this shit.

Interpreting information in my own words was my biggest win in studying and note taking. In a class it’s better for me to read/listen and try to understand, THEN make notes. Cause when I understand, I can then write the same information in my own words (Can be structured a different way that’s easier for me) This paired with all the tips of this video helped me

[@aloziechibueze337]

The Cornell method without summary is the MVP. I used it and made top tier in my class. Charting comes in handy when it comes to comparing and contrasting e.g the mesial view of the mandibular or maxillary molars and their root apertures etc. Also, you can copy your exact documents to a new page and turn the answer section to hyperlinks to quiz yourself. My advice is to be diligent and consistent with any method you use, and remember the name of the game is (do your best to save time)

Thank you so much for this video. I only take notes on my iPad using GoodNotes 5 and OneNote (for typing notes). I like these two programs because it's easy to keep organized in them and they sync in the cloud. I've gone mostly paperless. Sometimes I miss the paper, because doing side by side on the iPad itself, is sometimes too small of a format. I find that I cannot strictly use my iPad for school, I have to have a computer as well. Thank you for this. I had been struggling to mind a way to take notes that will work for me. Mostly I adapt my note-taking based on the class and subject. I do a modified Cornell. But, it seems that the actual Cornell Method might work better for me moving forward after seeing your expatiation of how it works for you. Thanks again.
