How to write flashcards that work
Keep each card to one idea. A card that asks for a list of seven items is hard to grade honestly; seven small cards are easier to learn and to review. Phrase the front as a question, so you have to produce the answer instead of recognising it.
Say the answer, or write it down, before you flip. Producing an answer from memory, the testing effect described by Roediger and Karpicke (2006), is what makes flashcards work better than rereading.
Where your cards are kept
Cards are stored in your browser's local storage on this device. They aren't uploaded or shared. If you clear your browser data or switch device they won't follow you, so download the CSV for anything you want to keep.
