I think my knowledge had developed through the concept maps by providing us with another way of processing the information given to us via the textbook, slideshows and videos. I think it engages the creative side of our brains and allows for the creations and association of varying different subjects. It is helpful to be able to connect different ideas because it is an effective way to get students to retain the information presented to them. While my concept maps were usually succinctly put together, the information I talked about in them were almost always exceptionally recalled (in terms of memory). I believe it had to do with the fact that I was constantly trying to connect the ideas from the textbook to other things

One of my favorite concept maps was the first one our class did - the intro to human development concept map. I had never made a, "concept map" before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but after finishing it, it was admittedly pleasing. Another one would be the one where I drew images the same way a kid would draw them (early childhood development). It was amusing to try and draw the same would kids would. My last favorite would be Adolescent development concept map. I liked learning about the differing ways that the opposite genders developed

While there was an abundance of information that we covered throughout the semester, there is one thing that was universal. The development and change of our minds and bodies isn't ephemeral, its ever-lasting. Throughout the varying stages of human development there will be change, whether the change in physical growth, cognitive growth or cognitive and physiological decline, there is always change. I find that fascinating about our lives. Thank you Professor K for the great semester.
