What does /sci/ think of Anki? Saved my ass in my biology courses

How long does it take you to make the cards for a single course's midterm?

>>8309361
Depends on how vigorous the course is, and how quality the prof's lectures are.

Give the highest, lowest, and median.

I know several people in medical school who say it has helped immensely.

I used it to study for the MCAT and found it extremely effective. I feel that if I had it during undergrad I would have performed much better and the content would have been much more manageable. Also scored well on the MCAT if that matters.

231 highest
52 lowest
maybe ~128 median

It depends on the person really, and how they choose to organise their decks. I do mine lecture-wise and don't make cards from textbooks. Though if I have a gut feeling that the professor isn't letting on as much as he should in lectures I'll make notes from the textbook and convert them into cards.

Any addons you recommend? I've had luck with the included Cloze cards but wonder if there might be something better.

Is that in hours? You spent 128 hours for each course?

i want to start using Anki for my course, any tips on how to create a good deck/addons to make it easier?

Learn HTML for when the WYSIWYG editor is acting crappy. I currently am storing biochem notes with this.

>>8309537
No, that's flashcards per lecture.

Hours uhh, idk.. maybe 30 minutes for each lecture spent making cards?

If you want a person saying the word back to you, I'm not sure if it really helped me with learning overall.
