Modified Cornell Notes

I use a modified version of Cornell notes in my co-lab class. They were suggested by Ms. Rittacco to help the slower learners, but it is helpful for all the students. Half of the paper contains the PowerPoint fill-in notes; the other half is left blank. After I go through the PowerPoint and add some other details, the students are required to go back and make two questions from the information they have filled-in for each section. They then give those questions to students nearby to answer. Then the questions are returned and corrected. This exercise helps the students to retain the information.
