For first semester I had a final and had to memorize like 500 terms total and did it in 7 hours total and managed to get a 90 (the only good course for me XD) | ||

you can use virtual ones if you want, pretty sure you could adapt anki for this | ||

But I haven't met anyone else who does it in this weird way. Just keep writing the definitions out over and over until they stick (by hand, don't type). Oh yeah you could try flash cards too, I've never used them but according to peers they do work. | ||

[A]nna the [A]norexic, had giant [B]oobs, and a [C]ock, however her [D]ick wasn't huge enough to be in the [E]xtreme [F]ucking contest...etc... Edit: you dont have to memorize the phrase, but just make sure the list of things that went on is easily memorizable. | ||

Also since I know I am a little bit behind, I am going to stay up all night. Will this have bad reprocussions on my test scores?? Anyone know from experience? | ||

Or pretend you're teaching them to someone else. Make a pretend lecture, give examples of the terms, explain them a little bit. This is how I study for exams. | ||

Anyways, I have a similar dilemma. I am now taking an art history class, a large portion of which is memorizing works of art and the person that created them/their historical significance. Now, obviously flashcards would be awesome, but I simply don't have the money/whatever to print out thousands of color images. So I was wondering if there was a way to make virtual flashcards that use a picture instead of text (the professor provides us with .jpg's of all of the works of art in question) on one side? If not, have any of you had a class like this before? And if so, how did you go about it? Class just started though, so I won't have exams for a few weeks yet. | ||
