Cornell Note-taking Method - 康奈尔笔记法
The Cornell note-taking method is devised in the 1950s by Walter Pauk, an education professor at Cornell University. Pauk advocated its use in his best-selling book How to Study in College. I personally tried some methods of note-taking or remembering only by brain, but none of them satisfied me until I started to use Cornell’s way. I’ll try to explain what it is and how to use it.
Cornell Note-Taking
Page Layout
The distinguishing feature of the Cornell system is the layout of the page on which you take your notes. The page layout includes large margins on the left and bottom of the page.
Notes column (right)Record the lecture here during class using short sentences and fragments that transcribe the facts you’ll need. Eliminate all unnecessary words. Use bulleted lists for easy skimming, and as much shorthand as possible (without sacrificing readability.) Develop a vocabulary of abbreviations you always use, like “ex” for “for example,” “v.” for “very,” “tho” for “though,” “1st” and “2nd” for “first and second.” Finally, leave lots of whitespace between points and paragraphs so you can go back and fill in sections later.
笔记内容栏（右侧）在课上你要把你想得到的重点内容用简短的语句和关键字记录在此栏中。记录要去除不必要的词语，并要使用条例清晰的清单以便于浏览，并且越能够进行速记越好（但不要牺牲可读性）。开发一些专用语来简化你经常使用的词语，如用“ex”代替“for example”，“v.”代替“very”，“tho”代替“though”，“1st”和“2nd”代替“first和second”。使用这些简化词语清单可以帮助你尽可能快的记录下课程要点。因此到最后你会在记录段与笔记页边缘之间留下很多空白处，以便日后再填入其他内容。
Cues column (left) After class, review your notes and jot questions and memory joggers in this narrow column that help connect ideas listed in the notes section. When you’re studying, you will look at these cues to help you recall the salient facts in your notes, so keep that in mind when you create your cues.
提示栏（左侧）课后回顾一下你的笔记并在这个窄小的栏中写下一点问题或内容提示以便帮助你联想到笔记内容栏的内容。在你的学习过程中，你要关注这些提示来帮助你回忆笔记中的重要内容，因此当你建立提示的时候要记住这些作用。
Summary area (bottom) After class while you create your cues, sum up the notes on each page in one or two sentences that encapsulate the main ideas in the bottom area. You’ll use the summary section to skim through your notes and find information later.
概要区（底部）课后当你要建立提示的时候，要把课程主要部分用一两句话概括在每页笔记的底部。之后你将会用到这个概要区来浏览你的笔记和搜索信息。
Study and review your Cornell-formatted notes
The Cornell Note-taking method’s creator, Walter Pauk, outlined a six-step study system to use along with this note format. The BYU web site breaks down the 6 R’s: Record, Reduce, Recite, Reflect, Review and Recapitulate. While those steps are worth a read, personally I think this system boils down even further.
Cornell笔记法的创立者，Walter Pauk利用这种笔记格式概述了一个六步学习系统。BYU网站把它分解为6R：记录，简化，记忆，消化（思考），回顾和要点复述。如果那些步骤值得一读，就我个人而言这套系统会被更多的下载。
In short, once you’ve attended class and filled in the notes area, that evening, review them and fill in the cues and summary area. When the time comes to study for an exam, read through your notes. To quiz yourself, cover up the right side and use the cues on the left to jog your memory and help you rebuild the factual narrative in your mind. When you’ve got a paper to write, use the summary section of each notes page to flip through and find relevant facts to cite in your paper.
简言之，一旦你上完课并按格式做好了笔记，当天晚上就要复习并填写提示和概要。当准备要考试的时候，你要通读你的笔记。向自己提问，盖住笔记右侧通过使用左侧的提示来调出你的记忆从而帮助你重建课程内容情节。当你有纸可写的时候，使用每张笔记页的概要信息并在纸上写出能够引证的相关的事实。
In essence, with the Cornell method, instead of straight transcription, you’re creating your study guide as you go instead of waiting till it’s time to cram for the test.
从本质上说，用Cornell笔记法代替平直的记录，是你正在建立一个学习向导用来代替为了等到测试而仓促应对。
