Mind Mapping vs. Linear Note Taking

This document compares and contrasts linear note taking and mind mapping techniques. Linear note taking involves writing notes line by line in a simple format, while mind mapping uses a graphic diagram approach with a central key idea linked to other items. Mind maps are enhanced with colors, pictures, and codes to stimulate the brain and make associations, while linear notes focus on capturing all information given without additional elements. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages depending on the subject and individual needs.
