Welcome to our newsletter. This week we've released two new listening note-taking methods lessons using the Cornell Notes System. These lessons start with the students discussing their note-taking experience before introducing them to the Cornell Notes System and Cornell’s 5Rs. They then practice using this method by listening to five mini lectures on subjects connected to Technology (digital assistants, Bitcoin, mobile payment apps, gunshot detection tech and Amazon Fresh) or Science (International Space Station, gene editing, COVID vaccines, endothermic and ectothermic species and the Antarctic ozone hole).

What is Cornell Notes System?
|
|
This technique of note-taking is called “Cornell Notes System”. It is a system for taking, organizing and reviewing notes and was devised by Prof. Walter Pauk of Cornell University in the 1950s. The paper is divided into three areas: note-taking area, cue column and summary.

|
The five stages of the Cornell Notes System
|
During the lecture, record as much information as you can in the main column (note-taking area).
|
|
After the lecture, complete the left column with questions about the content in the main column. These questions can be answered when you’re reviewing the lecture.
|
|
After the lecture, cover the main column and ask yourself the questions from the left column. See if you can answer the questions without looking at your notes in the main column.
|
|
Think about your own opinions and ideas as you read over your notes. Write these ideas down in a notebook and then use them in essays, exams, seminars or presentations.
|
|
Spend ten minutes per week reviewing your notes.
