![]() ![]() Think about how you will change your approach to make it a successful year, and perhaps don't get too focussed on the most perfect way of studying to the detriment of actually learning. Many, many people do not even know what spaced repetition is, and I would suggest that if you are repeating a year, that your current implementation of Anki in your learning has not been helpful. You mention that Anki is your only hope- whilst it may feel that way, it is certainly not the case. I found rewatching lectures a tedious waste of time, time better used selectively reading textbooks or videos on youtube. Your lecturer may be able to give example questions, and emphasise the key concepts. A large fraction of questions will be on a small fraction of the content. It is impossible to learn all of the material- you need to identify the core material, and focus on that. If you simply churn cards during the lecture, you may not understand the underlying content, and produce worthless cards. My advice would be to try and read the lecture content ahead of the lecture, and use the lecture to help understand the material. I wouldn't make Anki cards during a lecture. ![]() My question is can anyone vouch for creating basic type anki cards on the first pass with lectures and textbooks? Do you get the concepts after that and only need the cards you made as guideposts through recalling and explaining that information? Am I gonna make it bros? I don't know if that's enough, but it better be because time stops for no-one, especially me. ![]() I figured I'll have at least one go at understanding by trying to pay attention during the lectures, or reading the textbook with the Feynman technique (just writing out the question I ask myself on the front of an anki card and my 5-year-old answer on the back). But I'm still worried that my understanding will be hampered by not taking notes and going straight to anki, since that's about memorisation rather than comprehension. That takes time later, but it's part of active recall to answer the questions anyway, so really finishing each card counts as the first round with that card. So what I do is write the fronts of basic type cards, and the backs if the professor is slow enough, but most I leave to fill in later. I also suck, because I can't type fast enough to keep up with my rap god professors even if I wanted to write a textbook to ankify later, and time sucks because going over that textbook to ankify it does not fit into the other 8 hours outside of lecture that I'm not sleeping. Turns out I not only did not understand what I was memorising, what I memorised I couldn't apply outside of filling in the blank. I'm repeating a year because basically the first time round I copied and pasted the textbooks into anki and clozed everything, and obviously the way the exam questions are formulated don't care about the clozed sentences you can picture in your mind and I absolutely shat the bed. I'm worried about not understanding enough, however. ![]() I've tried many different study methods over the years, but the volume of what I must mentally digest always sends me back to anki. This isn't a new question on this subreddit, but I guess I'm still not convinced from the answers the previous times it's been answered: has anyone had success making anki cards during lectures?Ĭurrently drinking from a firehose in medical school for 8 hours of lectures every day.
