This comment was killed -- mods, why? It's the only comment in this thread mentioning image occlusion, a hugely powerful anki technique. I've reproduced it below in it's entirety.

Medical student here. I've tried many flashcard programs (StudyBlue, Quizlet, gFlashcard, MentalCase, and more), and Anki is by far the best for my needs.
One thing that puts Anki in an orbital beyond the other programs is the ImageOccusion editor add-on [1]. This lets you screenshot an image, draw rectangles over labels within that image, and then generate a flashcard for each label. This works insanely well for learning anatomy.
I remember about a month ago where I had two hours to learn the names of all the tracts and nuclei inside of the brainstem for a readiness quiz. It took about 10 minutes to create flashcards for them all, and an hour to memorize. I passed the quiz. Days later fellow classmates were still struggling to remember the same information.

- auxbuss 12y agoSerious question, I see this from time to time, but have no idea what triple double-quotes means? These """...""" Mentally, I transcribe it as CAPS LOCK, and ignore what is written. Should I interpret it in another way?
- benwr 12y agoThey're from Python; they're a third kind of string delimiter, alongside '...' and "...". They allow multi-line strings (or, as in this case, quotations) that contain both unescaped " and ' characters.
