LECTURE NOTES - BLANK PROFORMA
Writing lecture notes is not just a necessity when studying at University - it is also a skill. You should consider the style and content of your lecture notes. Based on the 'Cornell' model, I have created a blank template which allows you to create detailed notes, summary bullet-points and record any references during the course of a lecture.
