The Cornell Note taking method, created by Walter Pauk, is asystematic format for condensing and organizing notes. Notes from a lecture or teaching are written in the note-taking column (right); notes usually consist of the main ideas of the text or lecture, and long ideas are paraphrased. Long sentences are avoided; symbols or abbreviations are used instead. Cornell note-taking can give students an effectiveness in organization of thoughts that they have been taught and give a better review in recollecting all the information that they have learned. The Cornell note taking system is not only a fast method of writing notes, but one is able to absorb the information that is given at a faster rate. -Wikipedia
