Why generate your own history and ethics cards

Ethics courses move quickly, from the Nuremberg Code to the Belmont Report to Kant and Mill, and most students first meet these ideas in dense readings and lecture slides. Ready-made sets on history and ethical principles rarely match the exact dates, names and definitions your instructor uses, so cards built from your own material are usually more useful.

  • Cards test one principle, date or named document at a time.
  • Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages.
  • Spaced repetition brings back the cards you find hardest.
  • Quizzes with explanations help you check why an answer is right.
