Millicent teaches students how to:

• Grasp the main points of any subject!
• Relate any point or concept to another!

• Go into detail on any point with ease!

• Draw  your own MindMap that makes it all make sense in a way that you – and others - can understand!
• Form Study Groups and maximize your MindMapping possibilities

Millicent uses Accelerated Learning methods and achieves astounding learning results for college students by teaching them to learn using the same methods. It’s both fun and powerful.

FORMAT: 90 minute, 1/2 day or full day workshop consisting of powerful interactive exercises designed to help students learn to effectively use mindmaps for study and better grades.

This course is typically delivered as a full day workshop for either students or staff development. The mini workshop format can be condensed down to a one hour or 90 minute presentation and provides limited elements of the expanded course.

Mind Mapping for Success!

Mind maps work the way the brain works -- which is not in nice neat lines. Memory is naturally associative, not linear. Any idea probably has thousands of links in your mind. Mind maps allow associations and links to be recorded and reinforced.

The mind remembers key words and images, not sentences -- try recalling just one sentence from memory! Mind maps use just key words and key images, allowing a lot more information to be put on a page.

Mind maps are more visual and depict associations between key words, are much easier to recall than linear notes.

Starting from the center of the page rather than top-left corner allows you to work out in all directions. The organization of a mind map reflects the way your own brain organizes ideas.

Mind maps are easy to review. Regular review reinforces memory. Try reviewing in your imagination first, then go back and check on those areas that were hazy.

We remember what stands out (where were you when John Lennon was shot?). Visual quality of mind maps allows you to make key points to stand out easily.

Disadvantages of traditional linear notes

• Energy and time wasted writing down superfluous words.

• Other information may be missed while noting down one idea.

• Traditional notes take longer to read and review.

• Associations and connections between key words and ideas not readily apparent.

• Attention wanders easily.

• Lack of color and other visual qualities handicap memory.

• Traditional notes aid forgetting not memory.

Uses of Mind Maps

• Notes. Mind maps help organize information into a form that is easily assimilated by the brain and easily remembered. They can be used for noting anything -- books, lectures, meetings, interviews, phone conversations.

• Recall. Whenever information is being retrieved from memory, mind maps allow ideas to be quickly noted as they occur, in an organized manner. There's no need to form sentences and write them out in full. They serve as quick and efficient means of review and so keep recall at a high level.

• Creativity. To encourage creativity use mind maps to liberate the mind from linear thinking, allowing new ideas to flow more rapidly. Think of every item in a mind map as the center of another mind map.

• Problem solving. When confronted by a problem -- professional or personal -- mind maps help you see all the issues and how they relate to each other. They also help others quickly get an overview of how you see different aspects of the situation, and their relative importance.

• Planning. When planning something, mind maps help get all the relevant information down in one place and organize it easily. They can be used for planning to write a letter or a screenplay or a book. Create a master map for a whole book, and a detailed sub-map for each chapter. Try for a meeting or a vacation.

• Presentations. When speaking, prepare a mind map for yourself of the topic and its flow. This not only helps to organize the ideas coherently; the visual nature of the map means that you can read the whole thing in your head as you talk, without ever having to look at a sheet of paper.
