HTHSCI 1PA3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Concept Map, Brainstorming, Diarrhea
Document Summary
Brainstorming phase: identify facts, terms, and ideas that you think are in anyway associated with the topic. This is a brain-storming process, so write down everything that anybody in your group thinks is important and avoid discussing how important the item is. Don"t worry about redundancy, relative importance, or relationships at this point. Your objective here is to generate the largest possible list you can. Organizing phase: create groups and sub-groups of related items. Identify terms that represent those higher categories and add them. Feel free to rearrange items and introduce new items that you omitted initially. Note that some concepts will fall into multiple groupings. Layout phase: on a sheet of paper, try to come up with an arrangement (layout) that best represents your collective understanding of the interrelationships and connections among groupings. Feel free to rearrange things at any time during this phase.
