Study Skills Worksheet: Cornell Notes and Mind Maps

Exam preparation lesson 12: Making notes: Cornell and mind maps · Set 620 · 40 questions

Study tip (Notes you can test yourself with): Cornell notes: notes in the big column, cue questions in the left column, a summary at the bottom. Mind map: main topic in the centre, branches for subtopics, one keyword per branch, colours and small icons. Good habits: your own words, short keywords, clear headings, a look within a day. Poor: copying word for word, writing every line, never looking again.
