Key ideas and conditions
Retrieval
Try to recall an idea before looking at notes, then check and correct it. The goal is learning, not hiding mistakes.
Spacing
Revisit material across separate sessions rather than only once. Adjust the schedule to difficulty and prior knowledge.
Error log
Record the question, mistaken reasoning, correction and a similar check problem. Classify misunderstandings rather than just counting wrong answers.
Monitoring
Use performance on new examples to assess understanding. Familiarity with a highlighted page is not the same as being able to explain or apply the idea.
