When I make anki decks for history(it’s Korean history), I sometimes make very lengthy notes. So I can grip the timeline.
And I make notes in time order(because it’s history). But when I hit “Easy” button on say third card, fourth card appears next to second card in the next round… and as I keep studying it gets messier. I want to say that Anki is not good for remembering something in time order.
I understand that it is not easy to devise a way to fix that problem. So I suggest Pre-Anki mode.
In Pre-Anki mode…
- It shows your cards in created time order or you can edit the card order simply by using drag-and-drop.
- It doesn’t make you hit again-hard-good-easy button. (so I named it “Pre-Anki mode”)
- When you get used to the material, you can disable Pre-Anki mode and use the cards as “usual” anki mode. And for me when I get used to the material(the photo above), I can divide that lengthy card into more short and easy-to-memorable cards.
So Pre-Anki mode is like a lengthy “cheat sheet”. When you study the cheat sheet enough, you divide that cheat sheet into pieces and make “flash cards”. I want to know if it’s just me who wants such feature. Thanks.
