The repetition of the flash cards would help me in science where there is lots of information to remember.

In my line of work the clients I serve usually are hopeless and broken. They need people to advocate for them.

That being said, in order to achieve deep learning as opposed to surface-level retention, I will be mindful about which dimension I identify with more while in class.
