Listen to the audio recording and try to take notes in a mind map.
Audio
identify the topic of the recorded lecture and write it in the center of your mind map
decide which information deserves to be a first-level topic and which parts are related to this specific topic
think and actively choose your keywords
give your mind map another good once-over, add formattings, boundaries and icons
you can always reposition a topic afterwards, so don’t sweat too much about this at first
THEORY
:
What is a Mindmap?
Though visual representations of information have been used for thousands of years, the term “mind map”
wasn’t around until the 1970s
, when it was coined by the English researcher
Tony Buzan
. Buzan developed the technique out of his own need for a way
to deal with the large amounts of information
during his time at university.
A mind map is a type of
spider diagram
or concept map that consists of a
centralized subject
and related topics or ideas branching off from it in all directions. From each topic
subtopics
can again branch off, resulting in a
radiant structure
.
Activates the Diffuse Mode of the brain (i.e. writing freely) instead of the Focused Mode (i.e. editing constantly)
It's like vomiting your ideas on a page
