title: An easy-to-use word processing program for creating concept cards in psychology courses: a method for teachers.
abstract: We describe a template to create concept cards in psychology courses using a word processing program. Students create their own individualized cards, which have the look and feel of flashcards and retain the same self-testing and monitoring features. Students report the template is easy to use, that the cards help them focus their study behavior and employ critical thinking skills in learning class material. We offer several suggestions on how to use the cards.
