In my opinion, I believe that a concepts map is a method used to better understand notes. While studying, it could also help by exaggerating on what is more important because of the oval sizes. Also, oval sizes could also tell what the major, minor and subtopics are. I always used to take notes using bullet points but I realized that using a concept map is a more effective way in note taking because it is quicker and better. Also, in my opinion, I think concept maps are good for architecture students because it remind me just a little about a bubble diagram.
