Oh my goodness, cornell notes. Perhaps it was the way we were forced to use cornell notes by my secondary school teachers, but I never saw the appeal nor the benefit.
The summarization portion is probably the main advantage over the other note taking methods IMO.
- ravenstine 6y agoTo me, it defeated the greatest benefit of taking notes, which isn't being able to reference them but the fact that writing down important information seems to help with memory retention. If I'm having to think about structuring my notes, then that's less likely to happen. In fact, might it be better to take unstructured notes, and then restructure them later?

- data_now 6y agoPersonally, this is my preferred approach. I feel uncomfortable making final notes the minute I have just learned something new. It's like your bubble of knowledge has to expand and connect to other thoughts and ideas in your head, otherwise my notes feel so superficial and incomplete.
