This class has been a mind opening experience. I've always been a spatial, abstract thinker. I use the computer too much. As a writer, I do write drafts by hand first, then progress to the computer. This generates energy for my creativity. So mind mapping just makes sense. Speech and motor skills are a powerful way to imbed information in the brain. And color is a surefire way to bring forward memory or focus attention.

The fundamental objective in this course is how the left and right brains synergize with mind mapping and the outcome is translated into reality. A simplistic and effective approach to utilizing a mind map while maximizing the flow of information and idea creation. Wonderful tutorial.

I’ve read and taken courses on mind mapping and learning before. This was the first one to tie it all together for me. I plan to retake the course and mind map the material as I go through the lectures and resources on this pass and hopefully make even more connections.
