Combining concepts

Another approach is to start with a mind map. Mind maps are a valuable tool, as they allow you to see the links between different pieces of information in a clear, concise manner.

Information about mind mapping and other techniques for organising information are available online. One particularly useful resource is:

• Mind Mapping: a module from JCU Study Skills Online.

In addition, there are books on mind-mapping in the UNE libraries. You can find these books in the online catalogue.

Mind Mapping Go to the ebook Writing at University: A Guide for Students Go to the section titled 'Making mind maps from reading' (Chapter 5.6 p.59) Look at the examples of mind maps (especially the one on p.62) Try and create your own mind map to combine some concepts you have in mind for an essay
