While good note taking is the foundation for the Cornell Note Taking System, the strength of the system is in the way you customize the cues and summary sections of your notes. These sections provide not only a place, but a process for reviewing and reinforcing both the details and the big ideas from a lecture. In this lesson, you will consider the importance of cues and summaries as a way to review your notes and create a set of quiz sheets for follow up study. You will examine examples of different note taking formats. You will then complete the notes you wrote during lesson five by adding your own cues and summary. Finally, you will evaluate the notes you wrote against a sample Cornell notes, cues, and summary for the same lecture, looking for ways you might improve your use of the Cornell system.
