Summary:
There are a couple of ways that you can take notes. The Cornell
method is best when the information is given in a sequential, orderly
fashion and allows for more detail. The semantic web/concept map
method works best for instructors who skip around from topic to
topic, and provides a "big picture" when you're previewing
materials or getting ready to study for a test.
