Cornell Notes
Cornell Notes are designed to help you succeed in this course. All four sections of the Cornell Notes must be completed correctly in order to receive credit. If any aspect of the Cornell Notes is not completed correctly, no credit will be given for
the entire Cornell Notes assignment. If Cornell Notes are complete, you will be assessed on the quality of your written responses. Please review the video on how to create Cornell Notes. I have also included a Cornell Notes template so that you
will have a clear understanding of what is expected, particularly in terms of required formatting. At the top of the Cornell Notes you must include: your name, the Cornell Notes number, the chapter title and page number of the assigned reading as required and as demonstrated in the Cornell Notes template in the Getting Started section of Canvas. There must be a space between each line linking the Main Idea with the Notes points will be deducted if the required format is ignored. You must link a Main Idea within the same row space(s) of a
corresponding Main Note, and provide a row space between each row of a Main Idea and linked Main Note. Be sure to follow the video and template guidelines for all Cornell Notes.
