Well, since nobody's interested in answering my last post, how about this one. I absolutely hate doing mind maps. I have been presented with the idea before, but have never taken to it well. Furthermore, to mind map the kind of texts I have to study for the level one of the national medical board exams, I would essentially end up rewriting the book, since most of the reviews are in outline form or use lots of charts and figures. How do I get the most out of this kind of text without mind maps, or can someone figure a way to pursuade me that mind maps are fun?
