What is Concept Mapping?

• NOT mental map

• A system view of a real system or set of concepts

• Used to stimulate the generation of ideas

• Promote creativity

• Brainstorming

• Often personalized and quickly completed

• Help communicate complex ideas

Do I have to do this?

• No. Worth only 2%

• We suggest it, because many have not encountered and because you may find it useful for yourself (and your students)

• Goal is to build a body of scholarship over a year-plus, making it easier to create a great capstone project.

• We realize that some may find themselves just finishing the 90% of the grade & want to put of finishing the reviews & concept mapping. 90% of an A grade is an A.

• [A price for procrasination?]
