A Year of Spaced Repetition Software in the Classroom
I overestimated the effect of spaced repetition. For six months, I used Anki every day to recap Chinese characters. At the end of the term I was perfectly prepared for the test. Afterwards, I didn't study my flash cards again. Only a few weeks later I found out that I've forgotten most characters or at least some of their details. I expected that after six months of daily practice (about 20 minutes per day) I would have stored at least some characters in my long term memory.
