... Cornell Notes... take notes as she lectures, and then come home and take notes on his notes of the left hand side in a different pen to review.
I believe the left column would be in the form of questions, keywords, or cues... some may think of this as headlines pointing to the notes taken in the right hand column during the lecture.
The summary section of the notes can be written later as the information is synthesized and the student may see more clearly how each high-level concept or minute detail covered fits together.
The Cornell format can be quite efficient and help a student recognize the main ideas rather than giving equal emphasis to every word of a lecture. Much information about Cornell notes can be found online.
