Google Slides and Quizlet are good tools for creating flashcards. In most cases, decks of flashcards that align with your course already exist.

⏳ A study that I learned about on a podcast suggests that students have a strong tendency to turn flashcards over too soon! 

Work smart and don't rush through reviewing. Resist the temptation to flip a card until you have completed a careful and thoughtful analysis.
