Anki Tips
  1. Deck organization
    1. Simple
      1. Can be (very) big, but always simple
      2. Organized in concepts
        1. BAD Example: "BIOL 366 Week 11"
          1. GOOD Example: "Flower sexual organ development"
        2. Understand>Memorize
          1. Foundations first
            1. 80/20 rule
              1. Highest yield information
                1. Easiest to learn
                2. "Cloze Deletions"
                  1. fill in the blanks
                    1. ultra effective
                      1. complement to regular flash cards
                      2. Visuals
                        1. images
                          1. figures
                            1. diagrams
                            2. Memory techniques
                              1. Mnemonic devices
                                1. method of loci
                                  1. Visual markers
                                  2. No "grocery lists"
                                    1. use an image with cloze deletions
                                      1. ex: cloze deletion on the Krebs' Cycle diagram
                                      2. make the list "chronological"
                                        1. ex: "list the steps in order of events when a molecule of Acetyl-CoA enters the Krebs cycle"
                                      3. Be concise
                                        1. No useless wording
                                          1. Simpler = Better
                                          2. Redundancy is key
                                            1. attack info from different angles
                                              1. in order
                                                1. Backwards
                                                  1. shuffled
                                                    1. reverse front/back of card set
                                                      1. Cloze deletions
                                                      2. Hit more angles => deeper learning
                                                        1. links between subjects
                                                        2. Provide extra sources!
