Assignment Introduction

A concept map is a visual method of organizing and presenting ideas. Concept maps reduce the amount of information to be learned, help students make sense of information and create personal understanding, encouraging more complex and meaningful thinking. A concept map is a picture of how ideas are related to one another and is made up of concepts and links.

A concept map is hierarchical and involves words. Related concepts are enclosed in a box with a line between them and are connected with linking words which demonstrate the relationship among them.
