1. Read the paragraph and find the relevant idea. This should be one basic fact you'd like to remember.
2. Make answers that use as few words as possible. If possible, the answer should be one word or phrase. Sometimes I make lists/tables as well, but the majority of cards are single word/phrase answers. A huge part of any discipline is simply understanding the terminology.
3. If the term is really important, make two cards that ask the same question both ways. In other words, "Q: What is hacker news? A: Social media site started by Y-Combinator." "Q: What is a social media site started by Y-Combinator? A: Hacker news."
4. If there are multiple closely-related items, make a card where the answer is a table. Also make cards of individual items in that table.
