Do you remember sitting on a tedious lection, nodding off with a smart look? But the most dreadful feeling is to find you still have another hour to go. And do you remember a lesson when you were involved in the studying process? You were shouting out, asking questions and getting excited. In that case, the most disappointing feeling was to hear the ring and realize that time’s up. In this style of learning you often catch yourself saying something like “time fly’s when your having fun” and it doesn’t feel like you’re having to work hard to take in and remember the new information.
But the main advantage of those methods of studying is that you retain up to 80 % of the studying materials. Flashcards are an excellent tool to encourage highly “active” learning. They encourage a student to see the information, use it hands on straight away and then recall the information later.
Macroeconomics is a hard subject to learn using study guides. To learn its principles and definitions in a passive way, using study guides, is time-consuming and demands a lot of effort. The macroeconomics course covers topics like measurement of economic performance, national income and output, consumption, price determination, unemployment, inflation, investment, savings, economic growth, international trade, international finance and the open economy. It is a complex and sophisticated academic disciple, that often turns a mockery for students. Here is the exact case where information cards will come in handy.
Our goal is very simple – to help students to learn and memorize the material they need, and teachers to find and use new teaching aids.
Flashcards are a perfect tool in test and exam help, memorizing teaching material, writing academic papers and education, on the whole. Do you still hesitate? Grab the paper to make flashcards or download an app and make your education more exciting and fascinating!
