How Do You Make Your Flascards?

[Jen2]

Hello!

Just wondering how all of you make your flashcards? I usually just buy the normal sized index cards and handwrite them. I also have one of the rings that open up so that I can punch holes in them and keep them all together. However, I am always interested in new or better ways. I was thinking since I will probably be using them alot more in my nursing classes than in the pre-reqs, that I would laminate them. Have any of you ever tried this? Do you think it's just a wate of time?

I fondly remember the days when I did note cards. I was a notecard-crazy student until 2nd semester of nursing school, then there were just too many classes. At that point I started retyping the review questions with enough space in-between to write my answers. It seems to have worked well, although I must admit I freaked out for the first few tests that I didn't have my trusty notecards.

CUT THEM IN HALF ! I learned that on here a long time ago and it got me through. I can write small and most things were one or two word questions. When the cards are smaller they don't cramp up your hands as much!
