Trouble with terminology, e.g. What is a subset?
(Wayne, Oct 28, 2005, 10:01:16) Question: When transferring material between SuperMemo 2008 and Pocket PC, I am supposed to use a subset of elements. I have no idea what is a “subset”. I am not a computer wizard Answer: A subset is any set of elements in SuperMemo (e.g. your biology material, your most difficult material, your top priority material, or all elements containing the word “virus”). Unfortunately, some functions of SuperMemo work only with subsets (e.g. for performance reasons, they are not practical for large collections). Whenever you encounter a difficult term, you can refer to SuperMemo glossary or to explanatory links. Initially, you may do more link traversal than learning; however, in the end, your investment will pay back. SuperMemo can be used in the ABC mode and learned in a couple of minutes. However, to fully utilize its potential, you will need a few months of practise and study.
