Re: Week 6 - Discussion Forum by Pearson Ashby - Tuesday, 21 May 2024, 9:49 PM Note Taking Methods The note-taking method I chose for this assignment is The Cornell Method. Developed by Professor Walter Pauk at Cornell University in the 1950s, this method assists students with quality note-taking during lectures and aids with studying for exams. This method suits my personality and works best for my learning style. As we learnt at the beginning of this course, quality notes can be the difference between a good grade and a failing one. The Cornell Method employs a header, cue column, note column, and summary column to provide structure and organization to the notes during the lecture. Students can then condense the notes into key points after class. This is great for studying, revision, self-quizzing, interactions with other students on the topic, and identifying knowledge gaps. The versatility of the Cornell method easily allows notes to be taken on a laptop or by hand. However, you should opt for handwritten notes since your mind is engaged in active learning techniques with the course materials, causing you to think about what you want to write. Typing bends towards the passive state of mind, as it is easier to reproduce what you are hearing. The Cornell method is more versatile for presentations and lectures when compared to other note-taking methods like the Outline and Write-on-Slides methods. These methods are most effective when an Outline or PowerPoint presentation is provided to the audience beforehand. The Mind Mapping and The Flow Method are better for essay planning or brainstorming, but not recommended for recording large amounts of data. Even though conditions may dictate which of the methods works best, anyone can easily apply the Cornell Method to any note-taking occasion.

Dear Pearson Ashby,
Thank you for your detailed explanation of the Cornell Method for note-taking. It's clear that you've put a lot of thought into this and have found a method that works well for your learning style.
I agree with your point about the versatility of the Cornell Method. It's a system that can be adapted to various learning situations, whether it's a lecture, a presentation, or even self-study.

Using “cues” and “recalls” it has been easier to know that I understand the course. Highlighting and using colors has also helped me out when it comes to recording my notes as annotation can be a key factor of what is put on a test. Looking at the other note taking strategies I would also pick and outline as it is easier compared to the Cornell Method when it comes to a certain type of organizational skills. Especially with different Capital Letters for the main topics having the numbers as subtopics to write under the main topic. The method that isn’t my benefit would be the concept map just as for me it is a floating list that you would have to go everywhere to write down the concepts. With my ADHD and OCD it would make me want to convert the concept map as a list and organize by sub topics with indicating arrows with their own
