Flashcards: Why? What For?

Flashcards are small note cards that are mainly used by students as a learning tool to help with the retention and understanding of information. Each flashcard typically has a question, term, or prompt on one side and the corresponding answer, definition, or explanation on the other side. Flashcards are great for reviewing key concepts, facts, or vocabulary. They encourage active recall and spaced repetition, which are effective learning strategies.

Picture a tree. The central idea of your mind map is the tree trunk, and the branches are the main idea that stem from the trunk. These branches can continue to sprout off into sub-branches, showing the relationships between various concepts. Unlike traditional notes, which feel like endless lists, mind maps are visually engaging, often incorporating colors, images, and keywords to help you understand and remember things better.
