Note that Mnemosyne already first shows you the recognition card to memorise, and only later the production card. After that, it will sometimes show you one, and sometimes the other. However, as time goes by, it will typically show you the recognition card much less often as you go along, thus lessening your workload. If you would have a single card which alternates between recognition and production, the recognition card will always show up in 50% of the cases, which is much higher than what I described above, and this thus leads to increased workload. Really, recognition and production are two different processes in the brain which require different amounts of effort. So, if you want Mnemosyne to quiz you on both, you have to keep separate scheduling info for both of them if you want to be efficient. (Note that you're not required to always use 'vice versa'. For easy languages, I just make a production card).
