The deck violates the laws of spaced repetition that Piotr Wozniak proposed.
There no reason why the word optionally should appear in this way on an Anki card. The answer to a card has to be always the same answer.
There should be one card for the full name and a different card for the one letter code.
Also there no need to write "name this amino acid". "Fullname?" Works as well and is shorter. Short cards mean that you spend less time reading them and can process them faster.
I have other cards for which I associate the one letter code with the name, so they mean the same thing to me.
Though I disagree with your example, I do violate the "laws" of SR in lots of other ways, for example including multiple questions on a card. There is a trade-off between the time to make a card and the relative benefit of having more spread out cards. I also think that "chunking" information together in memory sequences can be useful.
Completely agree.
Can you link to some of your cards so we can get a sense of how you've made them?
In that case I still don't see why you don't decide for either the one letter code or the fullname.
Wozniaks idea is that if you use different way to get to the answer then you won't strenghen you memory in the same way as when you always use the same way to answer a card.
That means the algortihm won't correctly calculate the time you need to repeat the card because it doesn't know whether which answer you gave to the card. That in turn leads to forgotten cards which is bad because you need to start again with them.
I haven't taken care of keeping out copyrighted pictures and sorted my cards decently. There's also a mix of languages. So at the moment I have nothing that easily publishable as a collection. Maybe I will in the future.
