Step 1: Card Design Principles
The 20 Rules of Formulating Knowledge (Summary)
- Understand before memorizing - Never create cards for things you don't understand
- Minimum information - Keep each card focused on ONE fact
- Use cloze deletion - More effective than Q&A for many concepts
- Avoid sets/lists - Break lists into individual cards or use mnemonics
- Use imagery - Visual memory is powerful
- Use mnemonic techniques - Acronyms, stories, memory palaces
Step 2: Card Types
Basic Card (Front → Back)
Front: What is the powerhouse of the cell?
Back: Mitochondria
Anki Format:
What is the powerhouse of the cell? Mitochondria
Reversed Card (Both Directions)
Front: Mitochondria
Back: The powerhouse of the cell - produces ATP through cellular respiration
Anki Format (with tag):
Mitochondria The powerhouse of the cell - produces ATP reversed
Cloze Deletion
Text: The {{c1::mitochondria}} is the powerhouse of the cell, producing {{c2::ATP}}.
Anki Format:
The {{c1::mitochondria}} is the powerhouse of the cell, producing {{c2::ATP}}.
Step 3: Card Templates by Subject
Vocabulary/Terminology
Front: [Term]
Back:
- Definition: [Clear definition]

Back: [Event and significance]
OR
Front: When did [event] occur?
Back: [Year] - [Brief context]
Step 4: Mnemonic Techniques
Acronyms

Back: PEMDAS - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction
Visual Association
Front: What is the symbol for Iron on the periodic table?
Back: Fe (think: "Fe"rris wheel made of iron)
Story Method
Front: Stages of mitosis in order?
Back: PMAT - "Please Make Another Taco"
Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
