📓 Cornell Notes Page

Walter Pauk’s layout at Cornell survived fifty years of study advice because it builds the review into the page: you write in the wide column during class, then question the narrow cue column right after, and the summary box forces one retrieval the same evening. This generator prints the scaffolding for any topic — the discipline is yours.

The rule that makes the layout worth it

A Cornell page copied but never self-quizzened is just prettier notes. The one non-negotiable step is the cue column: questions written from memory within twenty-four minutes of the lecture — the recall window the spacing research keeps pointing at. Write the cues before you re-read anything, and the page starts marking itself.
