5. The Sentence Method
The Cornell Method - Answer✔The Cornell method provides a systematic format for
condensing and organizing notes without laborious recopying. After writing the notes in the
main space, use the left-hand space to label each idea and detail with a key word or "cue." Use
the bottom of the page to summarize the entire page in a few sentences.
Advantages: Organized and systematic for recording and reviewing notes. Easy format for
pulling out major concept and ideas. Simple and efficient. Saves time and effort.
Takes a bit more effort when taking notes
Requires some time to set up the page
The Outlining Method - Answer✔Add your main points as bullet points, and elaborate on them
underneath. For any piece of supporting information, create a nested bullet point below it.
Remember to keep your points brief, preferably around one sentence per point.
Advantages: Well-organized system if done right. Outlining records content as well as
relationships. It also reduces editing and is easy to review by turning main points into
questions.
Not great for subjects that require many diagrams, charts, or visuals
The Mind Mapping Method - Answer✔Method: Mind Mapping is a method that uses
comprehension/concentration skills and evolves in a visual note taking form which relates each
fact or idea to another. Mind Mapping is a graphic representation of the content. It is a method
that maximizes active participation, affords immediate knowledge as to its understanding, and
emphasizes critical thinking.
Advantages: This format helps to track information visually. Relationships and connections
between concepts can easily be seen. It is also easy to edit your notes by adding numbers,
marks, and color-coding. Review will call for you to restructure thought processes, which will
force you to check understanding. Review by covering lines for memory drill and relationships.
Main points can be written on flash or note cards and pieced together into a table or larger
structure later.
