Put it in once. It turns up everywhere it's needed.
Each thing you add is filed in one place, and the hub makes the other parts from it. Over a term, that adds up to remembering more and retyping nothing.

The loop
A wrong answer comes back
Miss a question and it goes in the Mistake book and becomes a flash card. The next quiz starts with it.
The loop
A due date plans your week
Due dates from your class feed become tasks, and Plan my week fits study time into the gaps on your calendar.
The loop
Your week shows up in your review
On Sunday the weekly review counts what got done, what slipped and what's due next, from all of the above.
What you still remember, 30 days after a lecture
Without review, most of a lecture fades within days, and only a small part stays. Short reviews just before you'd forget make each memory last longer. That's why the hub brings each flash card back just before you'd forget it, with the gap growing every time you get it right. Here, reviews fall on days 1, 3, 7 and 16.

An illustration of the spacing effect, a long-studied finding about memory, not a measurement of any person. How fast you forget depends on you and the material.
