Want to make sure you retain what you learn? One of the most effective strategies is to create your own study materials. This is true when studying for exams and as you go through your readings for class.
While outlines are great for understanding relationships and big-picture concepts, you also need to make sure you’ve got a good foundation in your subject as well. Flashcards can help with that. Lots of people like pen-and-notecard flashcards, but you can easily create flashcards online, too.
Quizlet is a tool for creating flashcards online that you can use to test your knowledge with a variety of tools. These tools include quizzes, sample tests, and even games.
