FAQ
What is included in this Cornell notes PDF?
This template has a 55mm-wide cue column, a lined main notes area and a 55mm-high blank summary area. The note lines are 7mm apart. These are the dimensions of this template, not a requirement for all Cornell notes.
How do I use the three sections?
Write lecture or reading notes in the lined area. Add questions and key terms in the cue column, then cover the notes to test recall. Finish with a short summary in the bottom section.
