Flashcards from Reading

Tennis Court Oath
June 1789 vow by the National Assembly not to disband until France had a constitution
Declaration of the Rights of Man
1789 statement of individual and collective rights
Reign of Terror
1793 to 1794 period of mass executions under the Committee of Public Safety
What your flashcards include
- Term and definition cards for every key concept
- Concept cards that ask why and how, not only what
- Cards sized to your material: a short reading gets a short deck
- Spaced repetition built in: no deck settings to configure
How you study them
Flip, rate how well you knew it, and move on. Cards you find hard return sooner; cards you know well fade out until just before you would forget them.
Best for: vocabulary and definitions, formulas and dates, daily ten-minute review.
How we read web articles
Paste a link and we fetch the page, strip navigation and ads, and keep the article text, so a Wikipedia entry or an assigned reading becomes a study set in one step.
Get the best results
- Link the specific article, not a site's home page.
- Combine several readings on one topic into one set for synthesis questions.
Things that trip people up with web articles
Paywalled and login-only pages cannot be fetched. Copy the text and paste it instead.
Pages that load their text with heavy scripts may come back short; pasting works there too.
Questions about article to flashcards
Most public articles: Wikipedia, news sites, blogs, open textbooks and course pages. Paywalled pages need copy and paste.
We store the extracted text with your study set so you can check answers against it later. It stays private unless you publish the set.
