1. Dividing notebook areas
Cornell divides a page into three parts, the left quarter and the lower fifth are allocated respectively. The layout is as follows
In the process of taking notes, you can list the key points and difficulties mentioned by the teacher in class into columns, concise and to the point, and list the main points. For example, if you study the basic principles of historical materialism in politics, you can cite one or two points: productivity determines the relations of production, and economic base determines the superstructure.
2. Remember according to the note structure after class.
Be good at summing up the main points after class. As shown in the above picture, the main points can be written on the left side of the notebook. When reviewing, you can just look at the main points and repeat what you have learned. This memory method gets rid of the previous mechanical memory, especially for liberal arts students, which can greatly improve the memory efficiency and shorten the time. Take historical materialism as an example. Students in the left column can record the basic principles of historical materialism, the dialectical relationship between social existence and social consciousness, the contradictory movement principle of two basic laws, the general trend of social and historical development, and the principle that the people are the creators of history. Finally, summarize the main points in your own words and write them at the bottom of the page.
3. Memorize many times to strengthen thinking.
According to Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, forgetting begins immediately after learning, and the process of forgetting is uneven. Forgetting was fast at first, and then it gradually slowed down. So spend at least ten minutes a week rereading the notes of a subject, and then repeat the memory according to the main points.
Cornell note-taking divides a page into three parts. Through simple division, the original chaotic notes become clear in an instant, which is convenient for finding the key points quickly and reviewing in an orderly way. At the same time, through the steps of refining and reflection, it is easy to promote the thinking of users, so that the efficiency will be greatly improved whether it is work or study.
As a high school student who uses Cornell notebook, what you should record before class is your summary of the main parts of the notebook at the top right. The contents of "clue column" and "summary column" need not be completed in class. You can review after class (for example, a week later, or after a unit's study) to complete these parts. Combining the three, I believe you will master reasonable note-taking methods and constantly improve your memory ability.
