コーネルノートテンプレートの使い方

The Cornell Note-Taking System is one of the simplest ways to turn “raw notes” into something you can actually review and remember.

The Cornell layout (3 parts)

1. Cue column (left): keywords, questions, prompts
2. Notes area (right): the main content from class/reading
3. Summary (bottom): a short synthesis in your own words

How to use a Cornell template during class

While listening

• Write the main points in the notes area
• Use short bullets, not full sentences
• Leave space for diagrams or examples

After class (the part most people skip)

• Add cues/questions in the left column
• Write a 3–5 sentence summary at the bottom

That second step is what turns notes into study material.

A simple workflow you can follow

• Day 0: take notes
• Day 1: fill cues + summary (10 minutes)
• Day 7: review by covering the notes area and answering the cues

Printing tips

Cornell templates have fixed proportions. Print at Actual Size / 100% so the cue column doesn’t shrink or expand unexpectedly.

If you also use lined paper for other classes, college ruled is a good baseline:
