This is a great study tool for memorizing key terms and concepts. While they will help you with recognizing and matching items, they __will not__ necessarily help you understand the connections between the content we have studied. SO, use flashcards in addition to other study tools to ensure you truly understand the material and will be able to answer questions in a variety of formats (matching, multiple choice, T/F, short answer, etc.).
 * __ Flashcards __**

To make flashcards, gather up key terms and definitions from the readings and materials you have worked on over the course of the 1st trimester. Then, write the key term on one side of an index card. On the opposite side of the card write the definition or examples of the key term or concept. After making a deck of flashcards there are a number of ways you can use them to study.
 * Lay out all of the cards in front of you on the floor or on a table. Pick up any flashcard you want to answer. If you get it right, remove it from the group and make a "completed" pile off to the side. If you get it wrong, place it back in a random spot and revisit it at the end. Continue this process until all the flashcards end up in the "completed" pile.
 * With all the flashcards stacked together, go through them one by one. If you don't know the answer to one of the definitions or key terms, place that card aside. Once you have gone through the whole deck, refresh your memory on the ones you struggled with.
 * Ask someone to quiz you using the flashcards.
 * USE QUIZLET!
