DetailsConcept Map:- The concept map must be computer generated.
-When researching the topic, use the template, as described in Lecture 1, to assist you in organizing your information. The template will also assist in identifying key concepts and their relationship/s.
-The concept map is to be illustrated on one A4 page. Use APA convention to reference citations in the concept map and include these in the reference list.
-Concept map development clearly, yet concisely summarizes the most important information identified into what is known as ‘key concepts’. It also conveys the relationships or links between these key concepts. Critical thinking and creativity are essential components of this assessment.
