Käsikortit

Käsikortit, often translated as "hand cards" or "cheat sheets," is a concept primarily used in educational and professional settings to refer to a set of prepared notes or information that an individual can refer to during a test, exam, or performance. These cards are typically small, allowing them to be easily concealed or discreetly consulted.

The primary purpose of käsikortit is to aid memory and recall of critical information, formulas, definitions, or procedures. In academic contexts, their use is often strictly regulated by examination policies. While some instructors may permit limited use of pre-approved notes, in most formal examinations, the use of any external aids, including käsikortit, is prohibited and considered cheating.

In other contexts, such as public speaking or presentations, käsikortit can serve as prompts or reminders for the speaker. These might contain key talking points, transitions, or statistics. The effectiveness of käsikortit relies on their conciseness and organization, ensuring that the user can quickly find the information they need without being overly distracting. The legality and ethical implications of using käsikortit vary significantly depending on the situation and the governing rules.
