To what extent do review sessions offer prompt-writing feedback

Writing good spaced repetition memory prompts is hard, but to make matters worse, it’s hard for many novices to actually notice that writing good prompts is hard. There aren’t any strong feedback mechanisms.

With understanding of what makes a good (or bad) prompt, review sessions could offer some feedback to an attentive and reflective reviewer—though it won’t necessarily provide the knowledge needed to correct those prompts.

Cedric Chin notes (2020-11-05):

I had my first Orbit review, and everything you said that was wrong about my prompts leapt out at me during said review. I’m basically going to need to toss out most of my prompts and redo them.
