What are Cornell Notes?
Cornell Notes were developed in the 1940s by Walter Pauk, Professor at Cornell University and “one of the most influential professors in the field of developmental education and study skills.” His note‐taking system is characterized by a right hand column for notes, a left hand column for generating questions or key words and phrases and a summary section to synthesize the notes. Cornell Notes, as described in Dr. Pauk’s most well‐known book, How to Study in College, are important because they can help students combat the affects of forgetting, which “can be instantaneous and complete.” Cornell Notes can most succinctly be described as active note‐taking.
Cornell Notes were introduced to AVID founder Mary Catherine Swanson by one of her tutors in the 1980s and it has been a core component of the AVID program ever since.
