Our Science Teacher Told Us To Make Flashcards And Study From Them

[EntityCubed]

HEY SCIENCE TEACHER!
I HAVE A CRAZY BUT GENIUS IDEA!
HOW ABOUT...
We take our FUCKING BOOKS home so we can FUCKING STUDY from them.

Actually flashcard are probably a better study tool than just reading your book.

You write the question on one side and the answer on the other.
Look at the question, try to answer it, turn it over, if you got it right, good. If you get it wrong, now you know what the right answers is.

Where if you study from a book, at least for me, the blocks of text all mush together and words becomes opposite, or go somewhere else. Or, if I'm having a really bad day, i can almost completely forget how to read. Or I can read, but it doesn't make sense and it's not sinking in.

But flashcards. You can make those however you want them to be. For me, nice bog words, with big letters. Makes the dyslexic brain I have happy.

Everyone learns differently though. It's a shame more teachers don't try to cater to each student's best way of learning.

I do better with a book, then mentally slice/dice the information to store it. Also why my notes are quite odd, since I usually have it styled as keywords meant to recall the relevant information stored in my brain(so a sentence will actually be a string of keywords, or I'll structure them depending on how I need to remember, which makes it seem chaotic sometimes to others). When others look at however, all they can say is "Dafuq does this mean man?"
