My notes: [NOTES]
Generate 8ā15 flashcards. Use 3 card types in roughly equal mix: ā¢ Cloze deletion ā 1 fact hidden per card. ā¢ Why/How ā short conceptual question. ā¢ Application ā a tiny scenario where I have to apply the idea. For each card, also tag it with the principle it teaches in 2ā4 words.
Each card must be answerable in <30 seconds. Front side must be a real question, never just a topic name. Avoid yes/no questions.
Numbered list. Each card: **Q:** ... **A:** ... **Tag:** <principle> **Type:** cloze | why-how | application
Why this works
Active recall + Ebbinghaus forgetting curve
Recognition (rereading) feels productive but barely moves long-term memory. Active recall ā pulling info from a blank ā is 2ā3x more effective. Mixing cloze + conceptual + application also forces transfer, not just memorization.
