 So, today we are going to discuss the another topic in communication skills and particularly communication in that within the classroom that is note sticking. So, this is also a kind of a obvious thing, a simple thing like listening and many time we miss the great opportunity can be available to us in terms of learning by paying attention to be some of the small and simple things like listening or like notes taking. So, we are going to again talk about the notes taking a simple thing, but it can be very valuable and at the same time it can also be a very value adding to the process of learning, thinking, memorizing or even innovating. In the due course we will look at there is a method of notes taking which can help us not only individual learning, but can also enhance group learning. So, we will take this process step by step and we start with a fact and those who have had time to see the video they know that we talked about why it is important to have to take the notes. It is important to take notes because first and foremost it help us to remain aware, remain awake, remain conscious and active in the classroom, it engages our mind. This is a helpful way to establish our connection with the material. Once we have taken the notes we establish a kind of a personal association, personal relationship with the subject matter and that help us to quickly recall whatever the interaction took place in the classroom. Instead of reading whole textbook it is always more convenient to go through our notes to understand the basics and the nuances both about the subject matter being discussed in the class. Audio video recording is helpful, but that is definitely not the substitute for notes taking because again the audio video recording and watching the audio video recording is very, very passive method even while observing video recordings it is advisable to take notes. So, a first method we are going to discuss is called 5 R method. This has as the name suggests has 5 component record, reduce, recite, reflect and review. So, record means the simple whatever been transpired whatever been discussed recording that reducing it after the class we can summarize and we can summarize some of the points in the margins. Then comes the recite means occasionally regularly maybe every week or every two week we have to go through the notes to keep our connections intact with the subject matter and the reflection thinking about the points. And this is one point about reflection about notes taking which goes on even after the class. So, this is the active part after the class. We can have many points emerging in our mind, we can have many ideas emerging based on those notes, we can write down in the same page and that further establishes our connection and strengthens our connection with the subject matter and of course, the review. Important thing in this method is to divide the page in this way wherein the major area is dedicated to the notes taking area where we record the material then summarize is the reduced part, this part 2 of the this 5 hour method which is called reduced is done in the it is recommended to be done on the bottom of the page and at least dedicate two inches for that which is the summary of the lecture. And then comes the another point like reflect and recite and particularly for the reflect we have this side margin we must keep the side margin that is a open space you may or may not write during the classroom in this space, but as we go on as mind works on these notes and that matter we keep getting some ideas about what can be done further, how it what are the questions we have in our mind about the subject matter. How it can be useful in our academic life, in our daily life or to solve a problem all these points can be recorded here. So, this method was first popularized in the Stanford University and this 5 hour method is being used for many years to systematically for taking the notes systematically. Now, we will move to a video and that will help us in to practice this method. This video will be played this is a 7 minutes video and while this video is on please practice this 5 hour method and I can revise this 5 hour method again in this page looks like this the main area is notes taking area, summary is written on the bottom of the page and what points emerge, what are the insights, what are my ideas after going through this lecture the it is a kind of a lecture it we will have this can be written in the Q column that is that column in this 5 hour method is called reflect. So, this is the scheme and now we move to the video. So, was this video visible, could you hear, could you listen? Yes, that video was good and we know the 7 basic missing of engineering field and the video was clear. Okay, so now the task is to why you all taking notes following that 5 hour method, if not you might have taken this notes partially. So, I would request you to complete the notes using the 5 hour method and that is my request and invitation to all the centers to all the participants and then we will get back. Hello sir, how are you sir? I am Sairam, Kukindeer. How are you sir? I am fine, how are you? Fine sir and things are 5 hour method I was telling about the things which you are already in the start in this and they are following it. Thanks very much for this update, this is time for little practice. So, all the participants are requested to complete their notes using 5 hour method and then then we will move to the another method and then we will have another practice session in a short while. So, now we are moving to the next center. Good morning sir. Good morning. Sir, we have completed the notes with the 5 hour method. Okay. So, can some of you share your experience? Was it useful? Does the quality of our notes, did that improve the quality of our notes? Yes sir, it does. Actually, not just taking down the notes but it will be useful when we start compiling the notes and start making our own text. That will be much useful at that time. Yes. So, thanks very much. We will get back in a short while again with another method. Meanwhile, we can talk to some other, at least one other center. Hello, good morning sir. Good morning. These 5 hour methods record, reduce, recite and reflect review. Yes. Helps us to record at the same time. Helps us to recall. We stop taking the notes, we won't recall it again. When we are following this 5 hour, it would be highly helpful for us. Thank you sir. Thanks very much. Now, we will look at another method of notes taking which according to definition can also be called whole brain notes taking. Some of you might remember that in the video or in the last class, we talked about the mind map and mind map is basically a whole brain method. Whole brain method means not only we have to use analytical capability, but we also have to use the creative faculty of our mind to create a holistic notes. So, this is by definition is a graphical method of taking notes. Generally, it takes a hierarchical or T branch format with ideas branching into their subsection and mind map allows a greater creativity when recording ideas and information. So, I will share one example of mind map front of you and you can have a look at it. This is the very recent topic. Even today the some major global conference is going on in Paris about climate change and this mind map is about the climate change and impact of the rising temperature. Please have a look at this. This is also a method of taking notes. So, first have a look at it and then we will go into the science and art behind taking notes in this format. So, you can see there are some branches coming out of the central theme which is impact of the rising temperature. Then these branches are related to prediction for the 100 years. Scene looks like a very depressing, the global warming and how worse the global warming is comparing to other crisis this civilization has faced and economics of the global warming. All these are the main branches and connected to those main branches are there are sub branches and lot of colors and graphics is used here. This whole concept could be also could be presented in a form of a one page article. What is more interesting? The one page article with the 250 words or 300 words or 500 words or this mind map. So, can we have a quick poll? What method of recording the notes seems more interesting and engaging step by step writing in paragraphs and second making mind map. So, we have just initiated a small poll. What method of notes taking seems to be more interesting and engaging? I think 70, 80 people have responded 83 people and most of them have said that mind map looks like a more interesting and engaging way of taking notes. So, the strain is continuing we can see that on a same theme a mind map could be given and a write up could be given. What seems to be more interesting and more inviting and more engaging for learners is a mind map. Why it is so? Because our brain wants to work in a wholesome way. Colors, diagram, pictures, they strike, they sensitize many of more than once senses of ours colors and diagrams. So, now we will look at the science behind this method. The man who popularized this method is his name is Tony Buzan. This is the resume of Tony Buzan. You can see that you must have seen so many bio data. They look very monotonous if they are when they are presented in a conventional form. So, this man who popularized the mind map has created his resume like this again in the form of mind map and that looks like more inviting because it captures the versatility of the personality of this person in a more engaging way. So, he is an author, an educator, an advisor, he is a media personality. He works on intelligence and creativity. There are some great achievements to his credit. He has also developed a software i mind map and in a short while I will give you the link. You can go to that link and get to know more about this method and you can see some of the amazing mind maps being put up. And then you can also learn how to use the software to generate mind map of on the themes of your choice. So, there are certain things about the mind map. Number one, it starts with the center point and they advise that center point should not be only words, but it should have some image because image word limits our thinking whereas image provoke our thinking and provoke our imagination. So, whatever is the area or topic you want to make mind map upon identify some picture, think about a picture, think about an image and put it up in the center of the page, not on the corner of the page, but center of the page. So, when we put this thing in the center of the page, it makes the whole page available and this simple act gives signal to our brain that we can think in all directions. When we put a first word in the one corner, it gives us a message to our subconscious mind that we have to think in a linear pattern in step by step manner. Whereas when we put a word in the center of the page, our subconscious mind receives the message that the whole page is available and we can think in all possible directions. So, first step is to write down the image, write down the topic, reflect it and represent it as an image. Then branches are called out, branches as you can see need not to be actually should not to be straight lines, they should be curved lines and the length of branch should be equal to this length of the word. And throughout this process we can use different colors because colors engage your brain better with the content. So, structure if you look at this structure, you can see that there is a the main branch and connected to the main branch there are sub branches. So, related this is a mind map of the mind map. So, you can see that in structure should be clear, it can be in order and the main branch starts with the main point and then it is sub branched which are related to the sub points of the that main point. Then we also see the lines, words, pictures and colors. So, these are the methods, these are the some basic things about making mind map. Now, I will request to identify the one theme and since we watched this video and all of you are from the engineering colleges, you can make the this video which we just observe as your basis for making mind map engineering education and the missing points in engineering education. So, instead of you can also choose instead of writing missing points, you can just write management education and you can identify the seven possibilities. Instead of the missing points, we can also write in a positive terms like seven possibilities, possibility of asking questions, synthesizing, representing, conceptualizing, connecting it to the real world. So, you can make the central point first and draw the major branches coming out of that center point and I hope some many of you would have brought, I requested to bring the A3 size page and colored pencils or sketch pens. So, you can start this work and then once you start the work gradually, we will start seeing the science behind this method. So, we can go to some centers. Hello, sir. Hello, good morning. Very good morning, sir. So, is the instruction. How are you, sir? I am fine. How are you? I am fine, sir. Cheshu from Vidya Vikas coordinator, sir. Yes. Thanks very much for connecting and can you, is the instruction clear? We need to start the making mind map on the video which we just watched. Is the instruction clear? Yes, sir. You have given seven failures now in that the fourth one that you have given is decomposed. Yes. What is decomposed? Can I get that explanation for that clearly because I am, I cannot understand that. Once we have understood the problem, so Descartes method says that we should be able to break down the problem in a smaller parts. So, that is the decompose. Sir, the task in and to us is we have to make in mind map the video that we just saw showing these seven basic points of engineering. We have to show that in mind map with images and colors with unconscious. Okay. So, this is the practice time. You can, I will advise to work in the pair or in the group of three. So, in next 10 minutes, you need to spend on making the mind map on this missing points of engineering education in pairs or in group of three. And meanwhile, if anyone has any question in any of the centers, we can take the questions. Hello, sir. Hello. Good morning. We have a few, we have a few queries regarding the note making. Yes. When you're talking about this mind map, can you use it in a classroom when you're teaching a student? Because it really looks like a difficult process to teach them how to do the mind map. But when you're using it for a review article, I think that's the best. So, what do you advise us when you're talking about teaching a student? My experience has been otherwise. I found that students find it much more interesting. They engage better. They find it fun filled. And their thinking is provoked in the process of mind map. So, this can be used in the classroom very much. In fact, I have used the mind map as a question in the final exam. And this is one of the ways we have been using this method to test the understanding of the subject of this among the student through the mind map. So, we have been using it in the classroom and it is very, very interesting. Many students, invariably, students have found it interesting. Generally, it is advisable to use the mind map after one chapter is over or one module is over. So, but at the same time, this method can also be used in the beginning of some chapter. Because in the beginning, we can give the main theme, just introduction and ask the student what comes in their mind. What do you think the utility of this knowledge can be? What problems can be solved using this chapter or this topic? And that makes the student think forward. So, they become proactive in thinking. So, they identify their questions already. And after that, their interest will be more in the subject because now they have questions and a typical human tendency is if they have a question, they would like to search for the answers. So, in fact, I can show you one Facebook link which I have kept it open of the mind map. I teach here a course on self-awareness and relating with the world. This is a compulsory course for the MBA first year students and one of the methods of testing their understanding is through mind map. So, I can show you my Facebook group on which they have to upload the mind map. So, you can see that there are 60 students in the class and all the students are clubbed, all the students were asked to make the Facebook group. And in the Facebook group, they have to upload their mind map. So, for example, you can look at this mind map. So, since this class was on self-awareness, this is the starting point, the self is the starting point and I use little bit of yoga in the class. So, they have written, the one student has written that there are different sheath of our self, the physical self, the vital self, the psychological self and there is a self-image we carry and that is projected, that is a reflection of our ability. There is a whole bunch of emotions all have and emotions can be controlled, can be regulated through awareness and emotions can be directed towards high energy and high pleasantness. And then there was a topic on time management. So, there is a structure, how we structure time, these are the ways we structure time and if we are conscious, the time can be structured in a more fruitful way. You can see whole lot of story is captured in one single page and when I ask them to put up in the Facebook, that remain with them always. So, they can always go back and since that is their creation, they would like to go back to that and that they have the personal connection with their output, the artistic output. So, their recall will be better, they can reminded of certain things, they learned in the course, during the course, whenever later on they look at it. So, our experiences that this can be very useful in the classroom, you have to try it. The first teachers have to practice, we all have to practice, we need to start enjoying this process and then only we can make others enjoy the process. I can sum up my answer by sharing one experience. I used to take notes wherever I would go to attend classes or seminar or conferences hoping that someday I will go through these notes. But very rarely I would go back to my notes because they would not be so interesting and I would not have that much time later on to go back to the notes. So, I kind of disappointed with my this habit of taking notes. Of course, I used to take it in a normal manner and I stopped taking notes. I decided for a couple of years that I am not going to take any notes and whatever remains in my mind that is fine because anyway I do not go back to my notes. But few years back when I discovered this method of mind mapping, though I was taught about it during the college, but somehow I forgot and when I am reminded of this method, I started enjoying taking the notes. So, my enjoyment of taking the notes has increased. This is equally useful in the consulting assignments when you are sitting with the client and trying to understand the what is the problem, what are the variables governing their problem, what are the interconnections in the organization which are causing the problem which can be the source of potential solution. So, all that started happening when I started using the mind map and now for even the old notes which are taken in the form of mind map, I like going back and every time I go back to the notes I am reminded of certain things. So, you need to take interest, if you find it interesting, it is not that you need to take interest and my invitation is please go to the website, the Tony Boudin website it can give the e-learning capsule specifically on the mind map and you can also see some of the beautifully made mind map and if you find it interesting use yourself couple of times and then you will discover the power of this method and when you yourself discover the power of this method, when you yourself are enjoying it then only we can make our students to enjoy this process. So, that is my response to this question, is the, was I did it make sense? Yes, clear as possible. So, one more doubt I am having regarding this. So, you said to use maximum images where it is possible. Yes. The same example till we now we discussed that missing basics in engineering. So, this is the topic where we cannot find images as possible as now at the right time we cannot make any images. Then how can we make our mind map more effective? In the absence of images also, how can we make our mind map so effective? So, the very essence of mind mapping is using less words and more pictures. It is not that how to make the mind map attractive without using images, the right question is how to make images. So, are you finding it difficult to make images? If we want to draw it, we may not be the best artist to make. Yes, yes, yes. So, the whole teaching is about challenging your boundary. If we have not challenged the boundary, then teaching has not happened. So, if you find it challenging, there is all the reasons to do it more. If you find it is challenging to find images, it is not about finding images, it is about thinking about the images, it is about creating images. So, this is not the process of finding some images from the Google, it is process of thinking about images and conceiving images and that is how the creativity will enhance, how creativity can be enhanced by only by using it. So, how a method we master upon only by using it. So, if you find it challenging that is wonderful, it means mind is working. So, we have to keep finding challenging things because by doing challenging things only development can happen and that is the whole essence of education. If education is not challenging, then that is not education. Thank you, sir. This is Dr. Jogh speaking from D. Y. Patil Institute of Engineering and Technology. Good morning, welcome. Yes, sir. Sir, we have made one map, can I show you that? Yes, you are welcome. Please. So, we have done the various aspects of engineering education. Yes. What are the quality assessment methods, pediology, teaching learning process and what are the different ways of teaching the students like workshops, seminar conferences, conventional teaching, non-conventional teaching. I think it is not visible. So, we have to make the line more thick, that is what is there. We can see somewhat though I am unable to read the word, but I can see there are some words. I can see there are more number of, more than one number of colors and there are straight lines, but I can see a lot of stuff there. And this is result of how many minutes, 10 minutes? Sir, 7 minutes. 7 minutes. 7 minutes. So, my invitation is that if you can come up with so many points in 7 minutes, if you spend 7 more minutes, you can see how many connections can be generated and how many insightful things can come up just by spending 7 more minutes. Okay, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you. I will advise you to scan this mind map and upload it on the model. And in fact, I will advise all the centers to make the mind map during this session and at least one center can upload at least one which they consider the best mind map amongst themselves and they can put up on the model on the same thing, on the missing points in the engineering educations. We can have a poll quickly. Can you choose one mind map from each center, one mind map on missing points in engineering education and ways to address those. Twice one is yes, twice one is no. So, that is wonderful. So, my request is all the centers please make the mind map on the missing points in the measurement education and ways of addressing those missing points, put it up on the model. And before we close, we need to revise the 7 basic principles of mind map and since you all have worked on it, now you can connect to it in a better way. So, I move to the PPT and I quickly discuss the scientific principles of mind mapping. So, first thing as I told as I requested, start in the center of a blank page turned sideways. Why? Because starting in the center gives the brain a freedom to spread out in all directions. So, I have already explained this. Use image or picture for the center idea. Why? Because image is worth 1000 words and help you use your imagination. A central image is more interesting, keeps you focused, help you concentrate and gives your brain more of a buzz. Use colors throughout because colors are exciting to your brain as are images. Colors add extra vibrancy and life to your mind map adds tremendous energy to your creative thinking and it is fun. I am sure many of you would have used the color pencils and crayons after a long time. So, third point is connect your main branches to the central image and connect your section, connect your second and third level branches to the first and second level because our brain work through association. It is like link two, three or four things together. If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily. You must have noticed that you remember that person, the name of that person more whom you can connect in more than one way. When you know about the background, when you know about his college education or when you know about any other thing which you can connect, you can also remember his name and other things. So, actually brain works in the ways of association. It associates with one thing with another and if that association is built consciously, we can remember the whole thing with much less effort. Fifth principle is that make your branches curved because having nothing but a straight line is boring to your brain. So, instead of making a straight line in engineering, we teach make straight lines, but in the mind map, we invite people not to make straight line because our brain find it boring, our brain find curve lines more interesting. Use one keyword per line. So, because single keyword give our mind map more power and flexibility. So, that also help us to end the abstract thinking. When we are thinking about a concept, when there are we are thinking in terms of paragraphs and phrases, if we have to identify one word, actually our brain has to work and our power of abstraction will increase and if we use that one word that will help us to remind the whole thing quickly. Seven point is use images throughout as many images possible. If you find it challenging is all the reason to do it more often because image is one image is worth thousand words. This is the most famous website on mind mapping. You can find videos here, some of the excellent mind maps, you can also find a e-learning package through which you can not only learn mind mapping, you can also learn thus how to use the software of mind mapping. Then there are some other resources this presentation is there with you. So, you can always go to the mind manager, concept draw, mind mapper, tor comp, these are mind jet, free mind source, force dot net. These are some of the resources for the mind map. So, I will request use these seven principles and complete your mind map in next 5 to 10 minutes and meanwhile we can take few more questions. So, please continue working on the mind map when we are taking the questions and please upload your mind map on the Moodle right after this session or as when convenient during the day. Not a question, I really want to appreciate this kind of mind map. Sir, we have been teaching this mind map for the students for more than 10 years, but today only I came to know we can have images and also branches in this mind map. So, this is really something for me and then in like any visual communication, this mind map also helps in the students learning by in three ways attention, variety and easy understanding. Yes. That is what I want. Thanks very much. The word of this method is only in the practice, but the good part is the practicing mind mapping is a fun. So, I have shown you in my Facebook group students are using mind maps to recall, to take notes and I have been using it even for the examination. So, in one of the another courses, I use this to test their knowledge, their comprehension and ability and creativity and lateral thinking in the subject. So, thanks very much for sharing this and all the best for your practice. Sir, actually I have a doubt. I have heard some concept map, mind maps and lot lot others. It would be nice if you could differentiate between a mind map and a concept map, because in mind map we cannot see any images or curved lines. In mind map it is a more creative process. So, what are the major differences between a concept map, where is it used and mind map? The concept map is more precise representation of a phenomena. Whereas mind map is not only representation what already is, but mind map is an invitation what it can be. So, in the concept map we generally do not use imagination, because that is a reporting of something means that is a concise representation of a topic. But mind map is not only representation of that topic, but it also represents how it is connected to the other topics, what are the creative possibilities in that topic, how it is connected to the distant topic. So, that is the difference between mind map and concept map and that is what make the mind map more creative and more divergent in the process. Whereas concept map is more of a convergence of a topic, whereas mind map can be very divergent at the same time it can be convergent. So, it works on both ways, divergent and convergent, where the concept map is more of a representation of the topic. Sir, in mind map can we, is it that we can add our own thoughts which may not be our beliefs or ideas which may not be, which may not have been proven yet? That is true and that is how science progresses, that is how the engineering or research progress. So, we need to clearly mention that that is my idea. So, you can make a picture of your own some brain, some light coming out of it and use that representation to represent your idea, but clearly specify that that is my idea, that is my possibility and I would like to check further, I would like to connect to some authority or some other, I would like to discuss about it further. So, that is the very purpose of mind mapping. I am so excited with your mind mapping. I think every conclusions can be done through mind mapping particularly because I feel there are lot of students who have problem in basic communications. Maybe you know people from vernacular really have a difficult time in communicating in English. This overrides everything, amazing. So, thanks very much and all the best for practicing it in your classroom and I hope you and your student find it useful and valuable. Yes, I think this is one of the, we can cross one of the barriers and you know we can implement this in every conclusion. This is very, very powerful. Thank you very much for sharing. Thanks very much and you can also look at, on the internet there are sites about mind map for engineers. So, you can look at in the Google, I was because of the positive time I could not show the material uploaded and the sites which are related to mind mapping for the engineers. So, there are some engineering topics given and beautifully demonstrated how an engineering topic can also be subjected to mind mapping and what are the steps and all that you can all see that is available in the internet and people are working on that. So, it is useful for humanities, it is useful for management, it is equally useful for engineering areas and but everything depends on the practice. So, how we practice it, how often we practice it, that will be the basis on that will be the source of the value we draw from this process and from this technique. Sir, we have drawn seven branches which are the points which we have given in the presentation and then as a sub-branch we have written the solutions to those problems. So, is it the correct way of mapping the things? Yeah, so this is the correct way and I will invite you to see what are the interconnections between different solutions you have proposed. So, the seven branches are there and their solutions would be there in the mind map. Now, in the solutions you can also connect the solution of one missing value to the another missing value, you can see that connection that also you can draw because you know these are seven, but source of the problem is R naught 7, they are very few, they are probably 1, 2 or 3. So, when we look at the solution and how one solution is also applicable to the another problem, we can see that interconnection and that is the whole fun part of it and out of those solutions you pick up now you have limited time, you have limited resources, students also have limited time and resources and they have to spend time on many other things other than studies. So, when you see the connections of the sources, when you see the connection of the solutions, you pick up that solution which addresses largest number of missing points, that can be the starting point of implementing your solution. Color it with the different color or prominent color, so that we can say that this sub-branches is chosen as a final solution that can be done. That can also be done and that can also be represented in the form of a picture. So, use as much creative faculty as possible in this process. Thank you. So, it is very nice to interact with you and learn from you. I look forward you uploading your mind map on the model. We can take one or two questions and then I will request some of the centers to show their mind map so that other center members, other centers can also see what kind of work is going on in different centers. Good morning. Which method will be helpful for a problematic subject and how can we apply it inside the classroom? Can you show an example? I have already shown an example of the mind map which I have used in my classroom and what the output of our students was uploaded on the Facebook group. This can be used at two points. It can be used in the introduction part, it can be used in the beginning of the course. You just introduce the topic, you introduce the students the topic and make them aware how that topic is relevant for their academics and how by using that topic that knowledge different problems of the world are solved. For example, if you are teaching electricity or something in the electrochemical thing or if you are teaching them the battery or if you are teaching them the electromagnetics or if you are teaching them the thermodynamics, giving the introduction to the thermodynamics and telling them how this law is applicable in XYZ situation or XYZ problems and then ask the students to make the mind map in the beginning so that their connection with the subject is established. You can also do the mind mapping after completing a topic. So, suppose if you are teaching a thermodynamics, you teach all the three laws or four laws and then ask the students to represent those laws in the form of mind map. So, what they will do? They will identify some imaginative picture image and they will put it up in the center that will provoke them to think the practical application of those laws and then they will branch out perhaps four different branches will be there for the different laws and then they will further make the sub branches of related to each law and how each law is used to solve different type of problems. So, the sub branches will be the different solutions drawn from the same law of thermodynamics and then they can go on, keep on making diagrams and then they can also make some pictures about the possibilities, what innovations are possible using those laws and then they can also see a connection how the output or the problem solved through one law is connected to the another law and the interconnections can also be alive and present to them in the process of mind mapping. If I have understood the challenge of teachers of the present time and I do not know that might be the challenge for the in the past also, the biggest challenge is making students to think about a problem. The job of a teacher is half done if we make our student to think and thinking becomes easier not only easier it becomes fun with this process. So, you can use it after completing the topic and that will make students to think about that topic and that will help them to revise the topic, that will help them to establish their connection with the topic and further thinking and thinking something innovative on that topic. You keep on asking think innovatively what new can be done, they may or may not respond but if you give them the task if they are working in the group they will start motivating, inspiring, questioning each other and in that process in a fun way they will start thinking in a innovative way and a different aspect of these things which you want to convey in the class. Sir, thank you. In exam point of view how it will be helpful sir? I have been using it in the exam asking them to make mind map of the subject and I have used three criteria to assess comprehensiveness means how different topics are beautifully covered, insights what are the personal insights students have got that should be reflected in the mind map and third creativity how creatively all this is presented. So, you can use that in the mind map if not in the final exam you can also use it in the midterm. My advice is instead of state of is using it in the final exam you can use this as a internal assessment initially when you or a student become a little more familiar to this process then you can use it in the final exam but suddenly for the midterm exam or for some test somewhere in the midway on the in the course or towards the end of the course but before the final exam you can use it as an internal assessment method. But before that before using it you must explain to them what is mind mapping you must demonstrate how it is done you must give them the internet links or other resources where they can go and educate themselves about this process. So, first ensure that they are prepared they are aware once they are aware and prepared I have seen 95 percent students enjoy this method. Your mind map is ready sir. Yeah could you please show this that looks like very close to whatever what we discussed the there are branch there are branches sub branches lot of images and though I am not able to read the words but that exactly we discussed. So, thanks very much and compliments for making this please scan it take a photograph of this convert that in the pdf upload it on the modal so that other groups can also see this. Okay thank you sir and one of my question is that when we are teaching the mathematics yeah how the mind map will help or how to prepare the mind maps for the mathematics impact. This is the caveat I had to give in the beginning I have not seen mind map used in mathematics but I have seen mind maps in practical uses of mathematics. So, the those branches of mathematics which have practical uses of some real life problem that is where the mind map can be used. So, on the application side of the mathematics this can be used. Okay thank you sir good day. Okay thanks so much for elaborately explaining us the advantages of using mind maps. As a matter we have been using these mind maps in our college John Money College and Tom O'Kell and I got a question and he insisted that we have to use the curved lines rather than the straight lines making the points. The doubt is can we add on a square can we add on a rectangle at the end of the curved line and put the points within the square or rectangle so that it becomes like a finished kind of structure rather than living the curved lines back will it work sir. Idea is that at the end of the line or sub branch the image or picture is most appropriate because when we put up a rectangle or circle these are the familiar figures means we all are familiar to this so our brain is also familiar. So, our brain do not go extra mile it does not put in little more effort in representing our idea and we so rectangles and circles have become equal to words and no harm in using words but then we are using less of our capacity of the brain and we are not challenging our brain we are not challenging our mind to think in a creative way. So, idea of the mind map is that it should challenge our students and ourselves to think in a creative manner. So, when comes to see these methods and algorithms how mind map is useful? As I told you about the mathematics it is useful for the application side so what different type of programming is possible in the C plus plus or how it is applicable on the application side it is more useful on the mathematical and the algorithmic things. That is one useful for real time applications right sir? That is not true but the highly mathematical subjects I have not seen many mind maps being used for the highly mathematical subjects. But it for example, thermodynamics will you call it application or theory? Of course, it is not as abstracted mathematics or electromagnetism or gravitation these are the topics which are like application as well as mathematics the mind map works best with these type of topics. Maximum number of images in the mind map sometimes they represent the topic. Maximum number of images may disrupt the topic. Initially yes but then we have to initially we are not able to find the appropriate most appropriate image. So, that convey idea to us but at times it is it does not convey idea as clearly to others. So, initially people have to use image as well as word. So, image is used and then one or two words are written below the image so that it is clarified that what this image depicts what this picture depicts. So, if we use image and if we use words one or two words come attached to each image then the distraction will be less and whatever person want to convey will be conveyed and they will be less distortion of the message. So, thanks very much for engagement for your involvement. As I told the success of this method and utility of this method is in the practice enjoy this method to yourself can give proper resources to your students so that they can see the potential of it and then only they can enjoy it and I look forward all the centers uploading at least one or maximum two mind maps on the model on the missing points in the engineering educations. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
