The beauty of this colorful presentation about Cornell notes is that it begins with a very powerful statistic: "Those who take organized notes and do something with them remember 90-100% of the material indefinitely!" Zounds! Now there's a motivator. The presentation details how to format a notebook page, the kinds of questions to record on the left side, and tips for recording information on the right side.
