Supermemo admonishes them, though given the nature of some material I don't see a way around it. If I just have a list of qualities to learn, without more information for those qualities, what should I do? If I need to make 300 cards in one day for a class, I am unlikely to go digging deeper for each item in the list. Lists are especially useful for memorizing steps of information. I once used list cards to memorize a 20+ step process. It took a few days, I did get it though. Lists are dangerous though. I use them as a last resort because if they're too vague or you don't understand it enough before putting it in an Anki card, it will probably not work. I went through a period earlier this year where I used list cards as a crutch and I struggled to learn the information. Lesson learned! Lists are one of the more challenging things to learn.

It is interesting to see that you find learning lists to be easy. According to this site, sets / enumerations should be avoided whenever possible: http://supermemo.com/articles/20rules.htm Also if you are using Windows 7 the snipping tool might be helpful. It can be used to make screenshots of parts of your screen plus to mark out words :) Great post.
