Flashcards from what you missed
You do not have to make them. Ask Eddy for flashcards and they appear right beside the picture you are learning from, and the questions you miss in a quiz are saved as cards on their own. Each card comes back right before you would forget it, and your Cards page shows what is due today and what is coming. Review in the Mac pill, or ask Eddy to go over them with you.
Cards from your own lessons.
Say make flashcards in any lesson and Eddy docks a short deck beside the picture: flip a card, then mark Got it or Not yet. In the Mac pill, quizzes save the question you got wrong as a card by themselves, so the thing you missed today is the thing you see again.
What's due, and what's coming.
Cards in the sidebar is your whole deck: how many are due now, the next 14 days at a glance, your decks by topic with how well you know each, and every card, which you can search, edit, pause or delete.
Rate it. It comes back on time.
On a Mac, Review opens in the pill: space flips a card, and you rate it Again, Hard, Good or Easy with keys 1 to 4, each showing when it will come back. In the Eddy tab, ask Eddy to go over your due cards with you.
In the Eddy tab, say review my due flashcards with me, and Eddy goes over them with you.
Review opens in the pill, over whatever you are doing, and closes when you are done.
Learn it. Miss it. See it again.
How a card finds its way back to you.
- 1. A lesson or a quiz
Ask for flashcards, or miss a quiz question.
- 2. It becomes a card
Saved to your deck, by topic.
- 3. It comes back
Right before you would forget it, on your Cards page.
- 4. You rate it
Each rating sets when you see it next.
Space it out.
We forget fast, and the same review spread out over days beats the same review all at once. That is the whole idea behind your deck: each card waits until right before you would forget it. The learning science behind it: Space it out.
How to use it
Frequently asked questions
Does DuckyHelper make flashcards for me?
Yes. Ask for flashcards in any lesson and Eddy makes a short deck from it, right beside the picture. On a Mac, quizzes also save each question you miss as a card. All of them go into your Cards, by topic.
Is it spaced repetition?
Yes. Every card has a next time to come back, set by how you rated it: Again, Hard, Good or Easy. Cards you know well come back less often; cards you miss come back sooner, right before you would forget them.
How do I review my cards with Eddy?
Open the Eddy tab and say review my due flashcards with me, and Eddy goes over them with you. Flashcards Eddy makes in a lesson flip and mark right beside the picture. On a Mac, Review opens in the pill, where space flips and keys 1 to 4 rate.
Can I edit or delete a card?
Yes. The Cards page lists every card. Search it, edit a card's words, pause a card you do not need for now, or delete it.
Can flashcards help me study for finals?
Yes. Spread your reviews over the days before the test instead of cramming them into one night, and let your Cards page tell you what is due. Study for finals has a plan for the whole week.
