Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea, only to find yourself with pages of information, but no clear view of how it fits together? This is where Mind Mapping can help you.
Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively, improves the way that you record information, and supports and enhances creative problem solving. By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject. You can see the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes. 36 , as they help your mind recall and review.
Popularized by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking. They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure. A good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another. 37 .
1. Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it.
2. As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic (or important facts that relate to the subject) draw lines out from this circle. Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings.
3. As you "burrow" into (挖掘) the subject and uncover another level of information (further subheadings, or individual facts) belonging to the subheadings, draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines.
4. 38 .
5. As you come across new information, link it in to the Mind Map appropriately.
39 . Sub-topics and facts will branch off these, like branches and twigs from the trunk of a tree. You don't need to worry about the structure you produce, as this will evolve of its own accord.
40 . If you do any form of research or note taking, try experimenting with Mind Maps. You will find them surprisingly effective!
A. To draw a Mind Map, follow these steps:
B. Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes.
C. They help you to associate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make.
D. A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating in all directions from the center.
E. Then, for individual facts or ideas, draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them.
F. More than this, Mind Maps help you remember information
G. When created using colors and images or drawings, a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!
