A visual method of learning that shows how many ideas are related.
 
How may concept maps help me learn? 
1) it breaks the cycle of "brute force" memorization
2) it aids in the recall of ideas & terms
3) it highlights what we know & don’t know
4) you see & talk about much of the material before hearing it in lecture
 
How can I make a concept map? 
Start with a main topic and link it together with other ideas/concepts with "linking words".
