Description
Concept maps are visual representations of the relationships between concepts. While a typical undergraduate physics course has a long list of concepts, the concept maps help to organize these ideas into a structure. Physics concept maps can be successfully used in introductory physics courses to visualize the concepts hierarchy and make complex and abstract ideas more comprehensible to learners. This talk will discuss the experience and suggest best practices of using concept maps in an upper undergraduate Nuclear Physics course.
