@Brian_BH Where are we at on the suggestions for the cards that dont follow the cloze within sentence format. I know you said the original format was intentional but some changes to these cards have been merged while others have remained in review or the suggester has been told the format is intentional.
I’ve been made to understand that in most cases we’re to leave the basic Q/A format in place. But, some of them are so incredibly sparsely worded that it reads like a caveman wrote them, so in those cases I think it’s fair to make them at least complete sentences.
I don’t have an example handy, but the guidelines as stated to me are to preserve the Q/A and/or statement-response format, but without going to info classical cloze-deletion style, if that makes sense.
In most cases I think there’s a happy balance we can strike. I sort of have my own opinions on these a bit, but we are to preserve the statement-response format thing based on the directions as given to me.
Hard to type out in full form, but let me know if that makes sense.
Makes sense!
Im honestly of the opinion that this card’s clozes need to be split. I think its two different things this single cloze is testing that are poorly prompted and would be very difficult to recall its looking for both. what about
Functionalists view cities as {{c1::complex systems with important functions}} that represent {{c1::a slice of the larger society’s culture and house a diverse population}}.
@Brian_BH any opinion on splitting the clozes (see comment above). Just came across this card again in review and still not a fan hahahaha.
Yeah, I’m generally a fan of splitting. Huge clozes, imo, aren’t always bad but they’re easy to over-do
You can, of course, end up splitting too much but as a very general rule I think atomization is broadly helpful (again, to a degree)
I’m for it
