They carry no tracking, no watermark beyond our name along the top, and no limit on how many you run off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"section-marker wp-block-paragraph\">Which one<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"which-cornell-notes-template-to-take\">Which Cornell notes template to take<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two decisions, and neither of them is difficult. The first is paper size, and it is decided by your printer rather than your preference: Letter if you are in the United States or Canada, A4 nearly everywhere else. Printing the wrong one is the single most common way this goes wrong, and the section below explains what it costs you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second is format. Take the <strong>PDF<\/strong> if you are going to write by hand, which is most people: it prints exactly as drawn, and it carries both page layouts. Take the <strong>.docx<\/strong> if you want to type into the notes field, rename the zone labels for a language class, or set it up once for a course and reuse it. The .docx opens in Word, and uploading it to Google Drive converts it for editing in Google Docs, which is the route to take if you are working on a Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two layouts inside the PDF are worth understanding before you print fifty of them. Page one rules the notes column, which suits a lecture where the material arrives as sentences. Page two leaves that column blank, which is what you want for a diagram, a worked derivation, a mind map, or anything else where a ruled line is in the way. Printing double sided gives you one of each on a single sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"section-marker wp-block-paragraph\">The layout<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-the-three-zones-are-actually-for\">What the three zones are actually for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cornell Note-Taking System was originally developed by Cornell education professor, Walter Pauk, and the university&#8217;s Learning Strategies Center still publishes the primary guidance on it. The page shape is the visible part of the method, but only the part: what the zones do is force three passes over the same material instead of one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tb tb--anatomy\">\n  <div class=\"anat__head\">\n    <div>\n      <p class=\"tb__eyebrow\">What&#8217;s on the page<\/p>\n      <p class=\"tb__title\">The free Cornell notes template<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class=\"tb__meta\">PDF &middot; .docx &middot; undated<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <ul class=\"anat__fmts\">\n    <li>.pdf<\/li>\n    <li>.docx<\/li>\n    <li>Letter + A4<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <p class=\"anat__best\">Best for lectures, seminars and technical reading, where the material has answers you will be tested on.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"tb__group\">\n    <div class=\"anat__row\">\n      <div class=\"anat__n\">i.<\/div>\n      <div>\n        <div class=\"anat__name\">Cue column, left<\/div>\n        <div class=\"anat__purpose\">Deliberately narrow.

Give it half the page and it becomes a second notes field, which is what happens on most templates you will find, and the self-testing step quietly disappears. The same logic governs the summary strip: three lines, because a paragraph is a rewrite and a rewrite is not recall. Our <a href=\"\/remarkable\/cornell-notes-example\/\">worked Cornell notes examples<\/a> show what both columns look like once they are filled, which is easier to copy than a rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"takeaway\" aria-label=\"Key takeaway\">\n  <div class=\"takeaway__num\">i.<\/div>\n  <div class=\"takeaway__body\">\n    <p class=\"takeaway__eyebrow\">What this changes<\/p>\n    <p class=\"takeaway__text\">A blank Cornell page is not the method. The ruling is a promise that you will come back to it <em>twice<\/em>, and the file only pays off if you keep that promise.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the method itself is what you are after rather than the file, the <a href=\"\/remarkable\/cornell-notes\/\">full walkthrough of Cornell notes<\/a> goes through a page start to finish, including the cue-column step that most people abandon in week three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"section-marker wp-block-paragraph\">Printing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"printing-it-without-cropping-the-summary-strip\">Printing it without cropping the summary strip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody in the search results for this covers printing, and it is where a free Cornell notes template most often disappoints. The summary strip sits closest to the bottom edge, so it is the first casualty of a print dialog that is quietly rescaling the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"tip\" aria-label=\"Tip\">\n  <div class=\"glyph\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n    <svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\"><path d=\"M16 4l11 4v9c0 7-5 12-11 14-6-2-11-7-11-14V8z\"\/><path d=\"M11 16l3.5 3.5L21 13\"\/><\/svg>\n  <\/div>\n  <div>\n    <h5>Tip, three settings that decide it<\/h5>\n    <p>Set scaling to 100 percent or Actual Size rather than Fit to Page. Match the file to the paper in the tray, Letter with Letter and A4 with A4. Then turn off any header and footer your browser adds, because those are printed inside the same margin the summary strip is using.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Printing the Letter file on A4 is the case worth naming, because it looks like it worked. A4 is narrower and taller, so a fit-to-page print shrinks the whole sheet by a few percent and leaves a band of white at the foot. Nothing is missing, but every ruled line is now slightly closer together than the pen you are holding expects, and the page feels cramped for reasons that are hard to place. Printing A4 on Letter is the opposite and worse: the sheet is wider than the tray in one dimension, and the strip along the bottom is what gets clipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Double sided is worth setting up once. The PDF is two pages, ruled then blank, so duplex printing puts a ruled side and a blank side on every sheet and you stop having to decide in advance which kind of session you are walking into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"pull-quote\">The summary strip sits closest to the bottom edge, so it is the first casualty of a print dialog that is quietly rescaling the page.<cite>Printing<\/cite><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"section-marker wp-block-paragraph\">On a tablet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-the-same-layout-on-a-tablet\">Using the same layout on a tablet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The free PDF loads onto a handwriting tablet the same way any other PDF does, and the layout holds: the zones are drawn, not typed, so nothing reflows. For a term or two of casual use that is genuinely enough, and plenty of people never need more than the file above. The page below is our paid Cornell book on a Paper Pro rather than the free file, because it is the one carrying the tab strip along the top; the three zones underneath it are identical.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"device-mockup device-mockup--flat\" data-device=\"remarkable-paper-pro\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2551\/3364;\"><img class=\"device-mockup__flat\" src=\"https:\/\/templacity.com\/wp-content\/themes\/templacity\/assets\/mockups\/flat\/remarkable-paper-pro__cornell__page-1.webp?v=0.54.131\" alt=\"The paid Cornell notes book on a reMarkable Paper Pro, showing the same cue column, notes field and summary strip with a navigation strip added\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What it does not do is scale. Two hundred pages of an identical undated sheet is a stack you cannot navigate, and the honest limit of the free file is right there: it has no index, no page links, and no dates, so finding the lecture from six weeks ago means scrolling. On paper that problem is solved by a ring binder. On a tablet it is solved by hyperlinks or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your tablet is an iPad, the paid book also comes as a colour edition made for Goodnotes: the same 230 pages on a landscape page, with section tabs down the right edge, and it opens in Notability too. Pick English and iPad on the <a href=\"\/product\/cornell-notes-template\/\">Cornell Notes product page<\/a> and it downloads beside the e-ink file.
