Medicine
Medical school means holding a huge vocabulary of definitions, classifications and criteria in your head. Lumi quizzes you on each one until you can say it without your notes.
How to turn this subject into cards
Split the course by system, such as heart, kidney or endocrine, then make one note per disease or mechanism. On each note, quiz yourself on the definition, the causes, the typical signs and the classification rather than on the whole page. The usual trap is rereading a handout again and again, and most students do reread more than they test themselves (Karpicke et al., 2009). Lumi helps you retain vocabulary, criteria and mechanisms. Here medicine is a subject you study, never health advice.
