 Know Your Style
Do you…

• have a rainbow of colors on each

page?

• take notes and realize later that
they are illegible?

•Develop your note taking skills.
•Be able to use your notes to study.

Now let’s change sentences
to ideas . . .
 Change dictation into
notes:
Studies on worldwide literacy* rates show
that almost 80 percent of the world’s
population over the age of 15 is now
literate. This includes more women than
ever before.

*Literacy = ability to read

 One way to write this info

Studies ww literacy rt = almost 80 %

world pop over 15 yrs now literate

+ grtr # of women than bef

 Change dictation into
notes:

UNESCO’s study shows a drop in illiteracy from

twenty-two and four-tenths percent of the world
population in 1995 to twenty and three tenths in
2000.
 One way to write this info

UNESCO’s st shows  fr 22.4% ww pop

in ’95 to 20.3% in 2000

What important information is missing? What

is the decrease in?

The LITERACY rate INCREASED – the drop was

in the number of people who CANNOT read – the
ILLITERACY rate dropped.
 Another way to write it.

WW literacy rates

- almost 80% of ww pop 15+ yrs - literate

- more women than bef

- illiteracy 1995 2000

22.4% (ww pop) 20.3%

Benefits of Cornell Notes

• Your notes are organized

• You review your notes every
day
• You can quickly and easily
identify key terms and
concepts.
• Your lecture notes become a
study guide to help you
prepare for the exam.
• Try the Cornell Method of taking
notes for a few weeks and notice the
difference!
• You don’t have to be a genius to take
good notes. All that you need is a
good work ethic and consistency.
• read the textbook again!
• If you take good notes, you may
not have to read it again.
• Highly organized notes are
crucial!
• One reason for this is a lack of
awareness of the fact that the
numbers of the elderly have -
and will continue to - explode
rapidly. The elderly population in
the year 2000 was triple that of
1970. By 2025 this figure is
expected to double again to be
as much as 8 - 10 times the
numbers of 1970.
