Maps and Diagrams


Before I explain the memory techniques of maps and diagrams, I will explain first about memory. Memory is the ability to remember past experiences, and a record of the learning process. Having a good memory is important and beneficial for the students to have better academic performance.

The memory techniques I want to introduce is the maps and diagrams techniques. Graphic organisers helps us remember by connecting new information to our existing knowledge and to let us see how concepts relate to each other and fit into a context. Examples of maps and diagrams, are Mind and Concept Maps, Cause and Effect, Fishbone, Cycle, Flow Chart, Venn Diagrams and Ladders. Students can utilise this technique to take notes and have better memory of material learned.

Tips for Better Time Management

In order to spend one’s time wisely, he or she can create individualised timetables as they minimise time wasted to figure out what needs to be done. Besides that, tasks should be done according to priority instead of difficulty to ensure that there will not be a race against deadlines. Finally, make sure to be lenient with yourself. Allow yourself to indulge in sufficient breaks and the occasional treats for managing your time well. It is important to remember although good time management is vital for students, they are not robots either and should be able to deflect from their rigid routines. - Raveena Kaur Chouhan
