text: do you use flash cards to study? i've started using them this semester and i cant believe i hadnt used them earlier.  they are a great tool, not only do they help you research for the answers, but when you actually use them, you further reinforce the knowledge into your mind.  i cant believe i used to laugh off at this method and think it was dumb. i used them all the time in undergrad and grad school. i had a long commute and they were really easy to use while sitting in traffic.
