A flashcard is a short pair: a question or term on one side, an answer or definition on the other. It does not replace reading a chapter. It supports active recall: instead of re-reading notes, you try to retrieve a fact, then check.
A long card with a whole paragraph trains skimming, not recall. A better card holds one fact or one causal link. If the topic is complex, split it into several cards instead of stuffing everything onto one.
A weak card: “Describe photosynthesis.” A stronger one: “Which gas do plants take in during photosynthesis?” / “Carbon dioxide.” The second requires a specific answer.
Cramming a whole deck once creates the illusion of knowing it. A few days later the forgetting curve removes most of the detail. A better rhythm is short sessions: the cards you still miss first, then a mix of older ones. In MemoritiAI, slideshow mode lets you mark I know it or Don’t know and return only to the unlearned queue.
You do not need a formal spaced-repetition algorithm to benefit. Do not mark a card as learned after a single success — wait until the next session.
They will not teach you to follow an argument if you have never read the source. An AI generator can summarise a PDF, but an unedited summary is often imprecise. Always check dates, formulas, and legal definitions against the textbook.
MemoritiAI is a tool. Choosing the material and judging whether a card is correct remain your responsibility.
