Studying made Easy

Posted on February 8, 2011 by | 1 Comment

Are you a fan of quizzes but your students are not? Next time you give the “dreaded” quiz, tell them about http://Quizlet.com. This great website provides over 4 million sets of flashcards for any given subject. As a graduate student, I’ve taken an endless amount of quizzes, and really wish I knew about this website earlier.

Not only are students able to create flashcards or use those made by others, Quizlet offers new challenges to students with a “Test Mode”, and offers competitive study games. The best part of Quizlet is the portability (apps are available for a variety of mobile devices) and the ability to study with peers in a group. Be sure to let your students know about this great (and free!) tool so they don’t have to dread the “dreaded” quiz again.
