Thanks for this explanation, ked! A few more clarification questions:
Do you ever end up doing more than one Mind Map during the period of one class period? Or can you always find some way to relate new info to the main bubble?
Do you activate and Mind Map material before you go over it in class? (Sometimes my teachers neglect to actually discuss the things we'll need to know for the test in any great detail, and instead talk about politics or baseball...)
Do you use large (A3?) paper both in-class and at home/dorm? Markers in class too?
And how much time would you say you spend doing activation and Mind Mapping for each subject every night on average? Doing what you do, do you feel ahead in your grasp of the material you study?
Thanks. I know your experience can help me to discover the best way for me to succeed effortlessly in my studies :-)
