How would you recommend doing it? I have been reading the info and making questions for each key term/idea.

Example:
One side of Flash card, Where in the cell is rRNA made?
Other side of Flash card, the nucleolus

Should I do it like this or like this guy on quizlet

I think my way is better since its something you can actually answer, and if you do it like the guy on quizlet isnt it more just memorizing/remembering what you put down, and not really quizzing yourself since you most likely will just be rereading it and not answering it without looking on the back.

I could be wrong, what do you guys think is a better way?
 
Quizlet is great because you don't have to make the flashcards. They're already on their. I study with them
 
I think it's best to do whatever has been working for you in your classes. I know for dental school I would open up Quizlet and write questions and answers like you. There are tons of free cards you can already use, but I always found it more useful to write my own vs using someone else's if I'm trying to learn the content. If you just want to quickly review though on your break day for example you can just search for something on Quizlet and go through them during commercials.
 
I just go through the Cliffs Bio and make flashcards instead of taking notes because I personally can't study from clustered notes and I need small pieces of info at a time.
