Cornell note taking strategy

 The Cornell note-taking method is one of the best strategies for avoiding plagiarism and enhancing learning. I have chosen this method for the following reasons: It has three different sections that serve different purposes. The cue column helps me record questions that arise during the lecture and prepare for exams. The note-taking column helps me record what I learn in class in my own words. The summary section helps me reflect on the main ideas and concepts of the lecture. (Uopeople, 2021)

This note-taking method helps me study by allowing me to review my notes effectively and recall the information better. It also helps me avoid copying the professor’s words verbatim, which is plagiarism. Compared to other note-taking methods, such as the outline method1 or the mapping method, the Cornell method provides more guidance and structure for organizing and summarizing my notes. It also encourages me to think critically and ask questions about the material.

Different types of information and courses may require different note-taking strategies. Therefore, it is important to choose the strategy that suits the content and your personal preference. I agree with the University of the People (2021), who stated that "There is no one size fits all form of note taking. The method you choose will depend on the class you are taking and your own personal preference." (Unit 6: Introduction to Note Taking Strategies, Q3, para. 1)

Conclusion

To emphasize, what works for you may not work for others. I would like to conclude by saying that we should not limit ourselves to one note-taking strategy. Sometimes, teachers or instructors may suggest or require a specific note-taking method. Therefore, it is good to be familiar with different note-taking styles. They may differ in format, but they all have the same goal: to help us learn and apply what we learn. (Robinson, 2018)

The experiment, conducted by psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues in 1971, involved 24 male students who volunteered to participate in a study of prison life. They were randomly assigned to play the roles of either prisoners or guards in a mock prison set up in the basement of the Stanford psychology building. The experiment was designed to last for two weeks, and the participants were paid $15 per day. The researchers wanted to observe how the participants would behave and interact in their assigned roles, and how the situation would affect their attitudes and emotions. However, the experiment had to be stopped after only six days, be...

According to Learning Easy English, a YouTube channel that teaches English language and literature, fiction "refers to plot, settings, and characters created from imagination" (Learning Easy English, 2020, "Fiction vs Nonfiction", [1](^1^)). Fiction movies or cartoons aim at captivating us. On the contrary, non-fiction is based on real people and the real life stories. Non-fiction movies or materials aim at giving us information and being educational. (Learning Easy English, 2020, "Fiction vs Nonfiction".    It is important to know that there are four main literary genres: drama, fiction, non-fictio...
