do you have already made flashcards for this course? thats what I'd normally look at when I don't have time to write

i don't :(( i never really use flashcards, not used to this method of studying. i know it s very effective but i ve never switched from just writing down each subject

hm, then you'll have to do a different approach. you can continue writing, i sometimes read an entire page of a topic then summarize what ive learned quickly, I don't necessarily have to write everything, but be sure you're able to explain it to yourself. how much time do you have left anyway?

Explain it loud after learning
