Re: [lojban] smart.fm flashcards - obvious wrongness

[Jonathan Jones <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

The smart.fm program chooses the various selections itself- there is no 
way to alter it. Fortunately, only the first few runs (like, say, the first 4 or 5 sessions of 10) really have this problem. As you progress in the goal, the items for review become increasingly less ordered- that is, increasingly unlike the order presented when looking through the content list. For instance, I've been doing that lesson for about 3, 4 weeks, and of the 10 items I have in a session, absolutely none of them are from the same gismu.

(This, by the way, is part of why I argued against sorting them in usage order, and leaving them alphabetical- after a (very short) while, the original order doesn't matter much at all- the program feeds you the items based on how well you retain them. True, the items are presented to you for the first time in the order they are in on the content list, but that doesn't mean you'll be going through them in that order.)

I'm trying using the gismu set on smart.fm <http://smart.fm/goals/266809>.

I find that whenever I'm quizzed about a gismu place, the answer is always obvious because the current session is dealing with only a few gismu, and out of all the possible answers there is only one item which (if Lojban->English) is plausibly for that gismu or (if English->Lojban) is one of the gismu sumti being used in this test.

As a result, it doesn't really challenge me to learn the *positions* of the places of a gismu (e.g. that the route is {te klama} as opposed to {ve klama}, because the answer will always be the only one having to do with klama/going).

Is there any chance of some sort of solution to this?
