Above is a mind map I made for myself.
Learning maps help you visualize topics and concepts in different shapes and colors which act as another way to remember things which you need to remember.
This is how you do it:
You start with the circle at the center of the page with the theme of the subject you are learning.
You then draw the sub-branches which link to circles which have sub-themes of the concerned subject. You can use different colored lines – small...
Education is like clothes, no one size fits all.
