Practice routine: Recall, apply, and revisit

Use a short session to test what you can do without notes. Try this 30-minute structure and adjust it to your schedule:

1. Recall for 5 minutes. Answer a due card aloud in English before revealing it. Include an example and one failure case.
2. Repair for 5 minutes. Check the explanation, write one correction, then explain it again with the source closed.
3. Apply for 15 minutes. Choose a module practice lab. Predict the result, produce a small artifact, and compare it with the stated criteria.
4. Review for 5 minutes. Record the error and the next variation to try on a later day.

Grade the attempt, not familiarity. Again means the central idea was wrong or required the answer. Good means correct without help, including an example. A correct but hesitant answer belongs in Good and needs a targeted follow-up. Easy also requires handling a new case and its trade-off.

For each quiz, explain why the other plausible choices fail. Keep an error log with prediction, observed result, corrected rule, and next variation. Later, mix familiar modules without labels to check whether you can select the right idea yourself.
