Cornell Notes is a note-taking system that organizes notes into three sections - a cue column on the left, a main notes column on the right, and a summary section at the bottom. The cue column contains key words and phrases to help recall information from the main notes section, which contains the details from the lecture or reading. The summary section condenses and synthesizes the main points into a few statements.
