ABSTRACT

Mind mapping, a technique devised and systematised by Tony Buzan, is basically a radiant way of making and taking notes. For a vast number of learners mind mapping, once learnt and mastered, is an ideal tool for getting ideas 'out of the head', as well as for putting information 'into the head'. Mind mapping is useful for a variety of purposes, including: generating ideas, organising material, revising, memorising, providing an overview of a topic, taking notes and planning. Many students look at the work of some accomplished mind mappers and get discouraged, thinking that they could never be able to produce a kind of work. The truth is, the people can learn to mind map within a matter of minutes. Mind mapping, like every other skill, needs practice.
