Most of my students have a set of flash cards too. Unfortunately, I find that they cram the night before and that morning. Then they remember it long enough to pass the quiz/class. When I have them 2 classes later in Coding (when they need to remember the med term) they have already forgotten it due to the gap in between and the vast amount of information they are exposed to.
thats a good idea about drawing body parts, most of my students are visual learners, and I feel that just might put them over the top! Thanks!
thanks and I also like using the Quizlet web site where they can design their own test questions for medical terminology.
Wow, what a great site and a great idea. What is the flashcard site's web address?
I also have the class make flashcards to learn terminology. I found a website that will let you exchange, create and store the flashcards forever - for free (the only cost is if you choose to print them). The cards can be downloaded into a smart phone so that the terminology can be studied anywhere.
I have them make flash card too. I tell them to use them all the time. Ex: When you are in the laundry roon use your flash card, in the grocery line use your flash card.
Marcia, I like your idea of drawing parts with the flash cards. It further reinforces the terms in another mode than printed letters.
