The notes are ultimately for the person taking notes. As such, it's a bit aggressive to tell someone they will enjoy your system better than their own. Given that we know that everyone learns differently, it's silly to try to fit everyone in one box. You might as well force everyone to sleep on their stomach. The ideal note-taking instruction would present each note-taking strategy (Cornell notes, verbatim notes, strict memorization, etc) and then let the student choose for themselves. The way it is now, most students (myself included) won't ever use Cornell notes again out of principle even if we can admit that the system is better than our own. Even better, apply Auftragstaktik[0] and let the students use whatever they will to complete the task, judge their results afterwards for being able to recall a block of material, and make a competition out of it.
