pop quiz - Do you know quizlet?

​Over seven years as a student of 3 different schools, and for countless different classes in four separate languages I’ve made a grand total of 58 Quizlet study sets.
So what is Quizlet? It’s more than just a site you stumble upon when googling vocab lists and study guide questions. Quizlet is a brilliant website (and equally fantastic app) that has been with me since I was a brace-faced middle schooler learning about mitochondria for the first time. And I’m still loyal to my trusty Quizlet digital flashcards after all these years because it is just that good.
Here are a few of my favorite features:
1.Let yourself be lazy. My very favorite thing about Quizlet is the import tool they have to make creating study sets even easier. When creating a new study set, there is a magic “import” button that you can use to seamlessly transform vocab lists into flashcards in a blink of an eye.

The import page is customizable so depending on your list, you can change how the Quizlet wizard reads your document (for example, you can tell it that your term and definition are separated by colons and your rows are separated by new lines). It’s so intuitive and makes last minute cramming that much easier!

2. No foreign language confusion. The worst part about studying a language is the constant inconvenience (and sometimes near impossibility) of adding accent marks. On Quizlet’s study set creation page, you denote at the beginning what language both the terms and the definitions are in, and panels of special character buttons will appear corresponding to the language. If the extra step of clicking each special character disturbs your flow, they also have keyboard shortcuts for many accent marks.

3. Fight that study boredom. Even though flashcards are extremely useful and effective study tools, after 58 sets and almost 2000 terms, the flipping back and forth gets kind of boring. Good thing that’s not the only thing you can do with your study set! Using the sets you make, Quizlet can not only provide you with digital flashcards, but you can use the “Learn” tool (in which you have to physically type out the term that goes with the definition), practice your spelling, play games, and even take mock tests!

So here are the Sparknotes: Quizlet is so easy a middle schooler can use it, so intuitive that you can use it to master those pesky reflexive verbs, and so varied that you never run out of ways to study (for better or for worse). Happy finals!

The ranking and selection of the top ten most intelligent dog breeds have been gathered from the data and experience of various dog experts and dog owners through the years. Criteria for this include how easily trainable the dog breed is, the dog's natural disposition, the dog's innate intelligence and the dog breed's instinctive behavior and character.

One of the ways I fight study boredom is by keeping track of my achievements. I always like to motivate myself with the things that I would want to have. I also like to think of the people who inspire me and that includes my family. I just think that whenever I feel like being lazy, my parents did not stop working because they wanted to give me a better life. I do everything for them and I find that family is the best motivation I have.

The pets are a special member of the house that seizes only few days to become the affiliate of the house. You have spent few splendid and memorable times with this animal that exists at your house. There is no need to put in plain words that your four legged friend is pampered and loved by you in the friendliest and warm comportment.

Some vendors claim that they can cover off all management software areas in a comprehensive offering. However, is it really likely that a single management software suite can offer the strengths of the most widely-used targeted, single-task software solutions? It all depends on your business needs, priorities, and workflow - and on your budget.
