Cornell Notes
Turn messy notes or a reading into Cornell-style notes: key points, cue questions in the margin and a summary at the bottom, ready for review.

Reformat my notes or a reading into the Cornell note-taking format, developed at Cornell University for effective review.
Input: class notes, a reading, a doc, or a link.
Create a doc with: 1. Header: topic, source and date 2. Main notes: the key ideas, facts and examples as concise bullets, in a logical order, grouped under short headings 3. Cue column: for each group of notes, 1-3 questions or keywords that the notes answer (written as a two-column table: Cues | Notes) 4. Summary: 3-5 sentences at the bottom in plain language, capturing the big picture 5. Review prompt: how to use it, e.g. cover the notes column and answer the cue questions from memory
Keep my wording where it's already clear. Don't add facts that aren't in the source; if something seems missing or wrong, flag it in a short 'Check this' list.
