About This Cornell Notes System

The Cornell Note-Taking System is a widely-used study method designed to help students and professionals organize their notes for better retention and review. This template divides your workspace into three distinct sections: main notes, cues, and a summary. By separating keywords and questions from detailed content, you facilitate active recall and deeper understanding. Use this template during lectures, business meetings, or while reading textbooks to streamline your learning process and create a built-in study guide for future exams or project reviews.
