Student addresses the feedback on their notes from the teacher Note-Reflecting Student reflects on how their notes have prepared them for their tests
The only way that anyone learns anything is through repetition. How many repetitions of the material did we just get using the Cornell notes method? See sample notes Cornell Notes Magic
