For 1 plus 3 notes, the strategy requires you to divide your notes into three sections. The first section is labeled "A" and that is were you write the terms you learn in class. The second section is labeled "B", in this section you write the definition or equation of the term you just wrote in section "A". The final section of the 1 plus 3 note taking strategy is the section labeled "C". In this section you develop questions about the notes you've just taken. These questions can be used later when reviewing the material for an upcoming exam.
For the SU/Cornell notes, the strategy requires you to divide your notes into three sections as well. Just as you labeled the three sections "A,B, and C" in the 1 plus 3 notes, you label the three sections of SU/Cornell Notes "A,B and C" as well. The sections labeled "A and C" have the same meaning as they did in the 1 plus 3 note taking strategy. Section "B" however is a little different. it has three parts, these parts are labeled; definition, example and equation. This gives the student some options when taking his notes based on what the teacher is discussing at the moment.
Here are examples of both note taking styles:
I personally prefer to use the SU/Cornell note taking because in section B I can choose whether my math professor is giving us a definition an example using the equation or how to perform the equation necessary to solve the problem. This note taking strategy worked very well for me in last weeks math class, as I feel much better about the math I am currently studying in class these past few weeks.
In conclusion I like both note taking strategies but I prefer the SU/Cornell note taking scheme over the 1 plus 3 note taking scheme.
Hi Ben, nice descriptions of the different formats of the two strategies. But can you say more about your experience in math class with these two different strategies? Do you just use them in your math class? And if you can add some colors to your blog to identify the important information like the steps you take, it will be better.

hey ben great job with your 1 Plus 3 Notes and SU/Cornell Notes!
ReplyDeletethey really suit well to your courses
i have to agree with viola that about how you can add some color to help identify the important information
other than that, good job! :)

Excellent work Ben, I didn't use SU/Cornell before, but according to your description, SU/Cornell Notes is a great strategy. I will try it. Thanks.
