Teaching Note-Taking Skills: Organization


Strategies | Choosing good lecture material | Practices & Assessment Ideas | Ideas for Presenting Lectures

There are a few different formats out there for organizing notes, and among the most popular is the Cornell Method though it's more of a study guide than strictly a format for taking notes. The Cornell Method is useful for students to go back and review their notes, pulling out key pieces of information and summarizing it. That said, the particular method students employ is far less important that whether or not they can determine which information is more important and which is less [headings & sub-heading]. With that in mind, organizing their notes can be as simple as underlining a heading indicating a main topic [such as World Population Growth] and indenting a few spaces for each sub-heading within that topic. The process can be repeated for each sub-heading within a sub-heading and so on...

* For the sake of clarity, I used a mixture of long and shorthand in the following example:
