A bit of a background: Context Organizer note taking format is based on the widely used notetaking system devised in the 1950s by Walter Pauk, an education professor at Cornell University. Onedistinctive characteristic of the Cornell note-taking system is the layout of the page on which you take your notes. The left margin is used to label each idea with a keyword or a "cue." The right margin is used to provide the corresponding most significant description of the idea.
