[@user-vk8zy2sd4n]

For making flashcards: 1. Make it into your own words 2. add pictures and words 3. pneumonic devices to help associate info with a certain something 5. say answers out loud 6. study cards in both directions

Hey guys! This is - in my opinion, at least - the BEST video I've ever made. Well over 20 hours went into the editing, and I also spent a day building a custom-made overhead camera rig, which made the flash card and whiteboard shots a lot better. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Hope you enjoy it :)

[@PleaseSamSignUp]

Definitely noticed the editing! Don't spoil us or else we'll expect this quality all the time ;). Also in your opinion are written or digital flashcards? I noticed you had both for your periodic table

[@chelseagamblin3924]

I'm a huge flash card user so I really enjoyed this video. Great job and thank you!

[@ppppp524]

[@clover3835]

what if you are studying a heavy infomation topic (such as psychology) where a fact a card is going to take way too much space

[@anikax9262]

1) Add pictures to your flashcards 2) Make sure the pictures are next to words 3) Use weird Mnemonics to associate words 4) One question for one card 5) Simplify complex information Other tips 1) Say answers out loud before revealing information 2) Study cards from both sides 3) Learn first elsewhere and then review information using flashcards

[@krystalrussell4350]

I still have problems with information overload and this has been helping. It's just staying with it which is the hard part.

[@jamesharrisindianspringshs1524]

0) make your own cards 5) break complex ideas into smaller, easier chunks 9) use flash cards for review, not learning, so learn first. 10) Spaced repetition

[@horsesrmylife78]

This is really helpful! I have another tip if anyone's interested! It's to incorporate writing with flashcard studying. I like to use a white board and write out what I think the answer is before I flip the card. It helps me a lot because A) I can't lie to myself about what I said (I tend to say "oh, yeah, I pretty much said the right answer" when it's untrue) B) I have to stay more awake and alert in order to write things down, so I don't zone out as often C) writing things down (especially repeatedly) has been shown to improve memory Just figured I'd share! Thanks a ton for your videos!

[@jamminjelly6830]

Thanks, I'll try this tip for school!

[@horsesrmylife78]

I'm glad I could help!

[@kwokhinlee9707]

Writing and SPEAKING the answers out loud is even better. They are active studying and can keep you engaged and awake.

[@Anica547]

I remember back in high school when I would literally put all my biology curriculum into Anki, made tons of cloze cards and studied them individually. I remember spending hours and hours reviewing facts and memorizing the entire biology book--- without studying them or understanding first. I was hard working--- but in the wrong way. I remember having to review over 1000 cards just for biology, not to mention other subjects as well. Then finals came and I screwed up. Hard work in a wrong way didn't and wouldn't pay off. I could recall all the facts but could never see the connections and the underlying concepts. I screwed up so bad that those times were one of my darkest time. Now I know better, a lot better. I wish I could have watched this video a few years earlier but hey... life goes on and I am a much more effective student now:) Guys don't make the mistake I made. Flashcards is a tool for you to review AFTER STUDYING.

(don't mind my grammar)i have prepared using flash cards.absolutely brilliant technique for revisions(reduced my revision time by upto 90% as exams neared.i learnt one thing about using them.please tell me if any of you guys are using it the same way too.i study one chapter and then learn it , then revisit the chapter, let's say 1 day later and there will be things that i will not be able to recall.i'll focus on these things(along again revising the rest of the chapter) and learn them properly again.after about 3 days, i'll pick up the chapter again and there will still be things i won't be able to recall.now, only for these things i'll make flash cards. i have seen that if i only revise these flash cards properly let's say twice more, then in future revisions(of the whole chapter) i am able to recall everything inside the chapter.so i end up reducing the number of flashcards i make by about 90% and use this tool for placing missing bricks in a wall rather than for making the wall itself.

[@annmariegrant4037]

[@overrooftops]

Wow, I think you covered it all with flash cards. Well done, Thomas! What's up with all those thumbs down? The "haters" are at it again. This is why some KZbinrs just turn comments off. I'm glad you left yours on, however, so that people who recognize good work (like yours) can let you know. I have been an English teacher for over 35 years, and highly recommend flash cards to memorize vocabulary. Thx again!

Flash cards are amazing for Anatomy! I recently started using white flash cards with colorful markers and I group similar topics into the same color. It helps me not just memorize but understand that it's a building concept. I also like to place the cards on the floor or a big flat surface and align them in order of occurring events. Anyways thank you so much for your videos they've really help me with becoming an A student in college!

[@asbromander]

SUPER helpful thank you so much for this video! I'm 54yo getting my masters and finally learning how to study more effectively thanks to this video. I will be sharing this with both my college kids so they can start off the right way. Makes so much sense why I was not retaining the information on my overwhelming (every corner had info!!) flashcards. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@PostLikeHakeem]

So apparently I've been making bad flash cards for years lol. I appreciate the insight on putting too much information into one card. When I would study disease processes I would run into that problem of having to recall too many things from one card.

[@KiaZiShiru]

I've found that for some things, like studying Japanese, I need multiple layers of information (for kanji I need the kanji, the pronunciation and the translation) and I've found that using digital cards (I use Anki) really helps with keeping the information as easy to study as possible. This means that you can basically use a multi-sided card instead of just two-sided. In my case: kanji - pronunciation - translation you can then study: kanji - pronunciation kanji - translation translation - pronunciation translation - kanji pronunciation - kanji pronunciation - translation Of course, you can make any combination of these (I only use the first four ways, as the last 2 can be really confusing). But this you can also apply to other topics. Is the information you have really all needed at the same time? Or do you need to study different parts of it separately? Basically, what Thomas said about 1 card -> 1 item. Split your information in useful one on one items.

[@PostLikeHakeem]

+Kia Zi Shiru I'll have to check out that feature on Anki. I think it'll be better to break up the information into multiple cards.

[@akasbaakop3md502]

+Kia Zi Shiru hi so i downloaded Anki about 3 weeks ago. still havent gotten aroundhow the whole thing works.. have been reading their 'how to' and FAQ but that just confuses me more. any help?

[@KiaZiShiru]

Elorm Daketsey what type of help do you need? There are many videos on KZbin on how Anki works. but this post explains somewhat what I said above about using cards in a way that isn't simply two sided: kialearnsjapanese.blogspot.nl/2013/05/anki-how-to-set-it-up-to-learn-japanese.html

[@akasbaakop3md502]

+Kia Zi Shiru how to basically use it to make and study flashcards..without it being so tech-y like a "Anki for Dummies" thing..🙈

You've really stepped up your game (in all aspects) in this video, Tom. I was very engaged the whole way through. Extemely professionally done (noticeably awesome editing - stunning graphics and visuals, and I did indeed notice the clarity/lack of glare in the whiteboard shots - the custom-made rig paid off!), with the perfect amount of the characteristic 'Tom-humour' weaved into the very well-put information. Keep up the great work; I've been following your stuff for a while, and am always impressed at your efforts and, especially in this video, your growth as a creator.

Thomas,I get the concept and it sounds great for small items as mentioned. How do you handle Run on definitions with multiple parts? Example: COMSEC equipment Equipment designed to provide security to telecommunications by converting information to a form unintelligible to an unauthorized interceptor and, subsequently, by reconverting such information to its original form for authorized recipients; also, equipment designed specifically to aid in, or as an essential element of, the conversion process. COMSEC equipment includes crypto-equipment, crypto-ancillary equipment, crypto-production equipment, and authentication equipment.

I graduated in 2015 when I was 51. When I took an Art History course, the final exam was going to be simply 50+ pictures of art objects and we had to write who made it, what its name was, what period it was from, etc. I went to the local Kinko's and copied all the possible art objects we'd covered in class and shrunk them down into uniform sizes and printed the info for each on the opposite side (tedious, yes). After going through them several times, I focused on the dozen I was having trouble with and figured out "tricks" to help me remember them. Like the mnemonic devices you mentioned sort of....I would find something in the picture that would remind me of the exact info I was having trouble remembering. I made duplicate sets and sold them to classmates for $5, just as a little business enterprise. I got a 100 on the exam. Yours was a great presentation ! I needed a little refresher...I'm making flash cards for studying for insurance agent exams. Argh.

I study veterinary medicine, so I usualy go Learn once -> Review notes -> Flashcards -> Explain Like I'm 5 (with my blackboard) -> Test it Usually at the end I stick with the last 3, unless I have trouble with a concept, then I ask or read until it's understood, then again. Very good video! Only that for Clinical Pathology and subjects like that there are a lot of things you gotta know that are linked to one thing... for example the fact that Cocker Spaniels are predisposed to immunomediated anemia, and you have to link that with a leukogram, hemogram, etc, etc. etc. Right now I am thinking how can I do flashcards that help me with this. What would be a good methology. Thanks.

[@fuzz1233]

Julio Vera You could use mind maps to link ideas together

[@abdullateef6134]

adding pictures and using them as mnemonic devices like Thomas stated is really 1000 times better and easier for your brain to recall the info on the other side of the flash card, than adding words alone. Look up the picture superiority effect, it conveys that the human brain has the ability to process images and pictures far more faster than just words. I still don't understand why some people are making it hard for themselves to memorize quickly and efficiently by making "bad flashcards" and by including a ton of words in one card and by not using the way brains remember information.. Aka imagery. Thanks Thomas, great video!

[@hihi-cz2nh]

I love this video and the tips! Just subscribed! Ps; the first airplane was actually Santo Dumont's, the 14-bis in São Paulo Brazil.

[@Thomasfrank]

Glad you liked it! So I've gotta geek out here for a second. The Dumont/Wright debate can get complicated quickly, but the Wrights did achieve powered, human-carrying, heavier-than-air flight three years before Dumont. A lot of people say Dumont was first, though, because the Wrights used a launching track on their recorded early flights whereas Dumont's plane had wheels. That being said, I didn't even know about Dumont until someone else left a similar comment on this video, and I wish I had learned about him in school. Some more interesting info here: www.quora.com/It-is-commonly-claimed-that-the-Wright-brothers-invented-aircraft-however-it-has-also-been-claimed-that-Santos-Dumont-did-Who-invented-the-first-aircraft/answer/Matt-Conway-3 I think it can be misleading to get hung up on who was "first" to do or invent things in many cases. Part of why science is so interesting is how so many people end up independently discovering things around the same time - it shows that we collectively move forward as a society through communication. Additionally, each person who discovers something utilizes the contributions of others, and in many cases the "original inventor" is someone who simply found the right combination of factors that other people had done far, far more work to hone and perfect. It's really easy to fiddle with where the goal posts are for defining an achievement ("airplane" has been defined as first flight, first powered flight, and first powered controllable flight), which results in not enough recognition being given to many of the people who helped bring something into the world.

That whiteboard shot feels like a asap science video

[@Thomasfrank]

Their videos are the benchmark I've always held my whiteboard shots to :)

[@AndreK3200]

+Thomas Frank well it looks great. I have been pleased to see your improvement over your videos. Keep it up!

[@emmcclain33]

Great video! Love your channel man

[@linalangemark2652]

HAHAHA - good thing I have to study the periodic table til tomorrow :)

Lina Langemark hi fellow top fan

[@missaj9117]

I want to like this video a thousand times.Started using flash cards today and i must say this video really helped me create good ones.Thanks,new subscriber🤗

Thanks Thomas I really needed these tips and I wanted it really

[@WENDYISME]

What app did he use to put the image on the flashcards?

[@Thomasfrank]

It's called TinyCards - it's made by the Duolingo team and it only on iOS right now, but hopefully it'll come to Android soon! I'll show more apps in the next video.

I completed University undergrad and Masters some 15 - 20 years back and passed many professional certifications using the same the flashcard techniques. I'm glad the techniques are still the same and also when you write something yourself, it helps remember as well Vs. typing on a computer or buying flashcards. Create your own flashcards!

DO A FILMING/EDITING TUTORIAL PLEEEAASEE!! 😩

I'm so glad I've been following you since I started college lol. Thanks so much! ❤️

Mneomic device Make it silly 1 card, 1 ?/method Utter outloud Both >< Situational, learn b4 review Write it, b4 u commit it

[@piyushaggarwala]

You are AN AWESOME LEGEND. I'll tell you why. Throughout the video, I was waiting for you to show us how to use "pictures" to remember math equations for topics that involve exponents and roots. I mean, for example, if I want to remember that to drop the bases of 3^(x+1) = 3^(2x) and I need to solve for x, I have NO idea how to make a picture out of it to "remember" more. In fact, if you can share how I can, that will be amazing. But the moment you showed me colors of the periodic table on your flash card, you flew my mind into atomic bits! LOL. All I need to do is use colored pens for the (x+1) and (2x) [let's say green] and for the 3 [I'll use red], and next to the equation, I'll write the word "DROP" with a down arrow all in red. That should help solve the challenge with memorizing this equation. By the way, what other ways are there to learn equations? PS - You win. Thanks man.

[@scribbleartie]

Thomas, I keep coming back to your videos because they are very useful, but I do think that 1) This video could be in two parts, and 2) Can you please breathe and slow down your talking just a little bit? I always feel like you are going to pass out because you deliver huge amounts of (greatly appreciated) hints and tips, and its a little overwhelming to hear such fast speech. Just talk to us like you would to a friend in a coffee shop. :)

[@wypimentel]

I'm glad of being in your newsletter list, excellent tips. Thanks.

[@wendysslave1965]

Yey, Tinycards! BTW what do you think of Duolingo?

[@Thomasfrank]

+DeezApples74 I haven't used it much because the only language I've ever studied outside of school is Japanese, which they don't have. But my friend Martin uses it every day and loves it.

[@sonnylpblim3805]

[@eacy32]

Thomas Frank You could try Duolingo in Japanese and 'learn' English. All the questions are in Japanese but the answers are easy!

[@StarlingofAzerath]

Eoghan Champkin well unless you can read kanji fairly well it will be hard to do the language in reverse.

[@NickyEmpress123]

if i am allo0wed to give my opinion,it is one of the best learning tool so far ,in my opinion from my experience

[@micalyptus]

Flash cards work really well for me, and seeing that I was doing them wrong was pretty in my face!! You really showed me how to actually do it right and my that worked so amazingly!!! Thank you!

[@CrystalHurd86]

I actually completely disagree with parts of this and think that you would have been much better off with the first cards you showed. Flash cards are supposed to be a way to quickly quiz yourself multiple times a day. The intent is to strip away the connections to see if you truly understand the material when quizzed in a similar fashion to how you will take your test. No connections like pictures or mnemonics, no help, nothing. This means, therefore, it is the WAY you use them that is most important: - quiz often - quiz different (creates more pathways) - back to front - front to back - trade cards - que to memory - que, then write (I would suggest this to keep people accountable to nuance) - orally - have a friend quiz you What you are suggesting is in fact a very VERY good way to study, just make your notes that way. Extremely well made video and some great points but I just think applying them to flash cards muddles what flash cards are actually good for.

[@abdullateef6134]

I disagree with you here, adding pictures and using them as mnemonic devices like Thomas stated is really 1000 times better and easier for your brain to recall the info on the other side of the flash card, than adding words alone. Look up the picture superiority effect, it conveys that the human brain has the ability to process images and pictures far more faster than just words. I understand that you're trying to say that flashcards should be made for quick revision and testing but on the other hand I still don't understand why some people are making it hard for themselves to memorize quickly and efficiently by making "bad flashcards" and by including a ton of words in one card and by not using the way brains remember information.. Aka imagery.
