At the discretion of the instructor, a memory aid/cue sheet could potentially contain acronyms/mnemonic devices, short phrases, pictures, schematic diagrams, formulas, definitions, tables, key terms, or words charts. A cue sheet is NOT meant to record all the information or processes being tested. This means that a cue sheet should NOT:
- Include course notes, lists of specific facts, details, concepts, or processes being
- tested; Include open textbooks;
- Include complete terms and definitions;
- Include specific examples of how formulas are used;
- Include full course notes, copies of course slides, or all information from the course being evaluated;
- Exceed one page (single sided);
- Serve as a substitute of studying (a cue sheet will not help if a student has not studied
- the material).
