What are “active notes”?
Notes are not something simply to jot down and file away; they are to be returned to and actively mined over time. There are a number of approaches to taking notes effectively, but one that has been broadly adopted is the Cornell method.
The strategy involves learners dividing their paper into two columns with a row across the bottom. Furthermore, it requires very little preparation which makes it ideal for note taking in a classroom or during a client meeting.
The strength of this method is the page layout. To make your own Cornell Notes, start by drawing a giant I on the page. At the top of the page you write down the name of the course, meeting or seminar together with the date and the subject. The left portion should be around 7 cm wide and is called the Cue / Questions / Keyword Column. This is where you’ll put your subheadings, all of which should be written as questions. In the larger column on the right, also called the note-taking column, write your notes in the usual manner.
A couple of inches should be left at the bottom for conclusions.

I usually answer questions, but I am now more confused than ever!
I think I can work with this though. Thanks to PsyDAG
