Cornell notes without the summary for me.

A big tip I once read was: "Write your notes in such a way that you can review them."

I now divide my page with a line which splits the page vertically in 1/3 and 2/3rds of the page. Write your notes in a series of questions/definitions. Then you can cover up the right side and try to use active recall.

I noticed that I used to make very sophisticated notes in class but rarely used them afterwards. This seemed like a huge waste of effort to me. I always used to be the type of guy who has FOMO if he doesn't write everything down while my best friend in undergrad NEVER wrote anything down claiming he couldn't pay attention otherwise. We both got stellar results, I think it depends on the person a lot.
