Validity

Hey everyone, so I'm having some trouble with the valid/invalid section of the core curriculum. I know I need to make flashcards but I feel like I've made them wrong by putting the "premises and conclusion" on the front and then on the back whether "valid or invalid." I feel like that is not very helpful to determining the inferences. Does anyone have any suggestions of how they did their flashcards or how I should be presenting valid/invalid on flashcards. I can't really move on per-se until these forms have been engrained in my brain. Thanks everyone.

    On the front of the flashcard I wrote "Valid form 1" or "Invalid form 1" , on the back I wrote the example in English "All dogs are cute. Fido is a dog. Therefore Fido is cute" then I would have the example in A/B format. A->B, A, therefore B. I did this for all the valid/invalid argument forms. I started by memorizing valid first then invalid and once I was comfortable with both sets I mixed them together and studied them combined. Posted a picture down below for a visual representation!
