I'm going to offer a balanced comment. I agree with laurieg[0] and dustincoates[1], there is value in creating your cards one at a time, because then you initially learn the card as it goes in, and you are using the system to help retain it in the long term. Their comments should be read carefully and the points considered. But I also use a Spaced Repetition (SR) system to memorise things, and sometimes there's value in simply dumping things in "in bulk", learning them when first presented, and trusting the system. When I first had need of a SR system I needed it quickly, and I didn't have 'net access, so I wrote my own. My usage is perhaps idiosyncratic, but I can see why one would want to install cards en masse. Good luck with your studies.
