do doodles include "showing your work" on math problems? we associate certain combinations of numbers (which are simply marks on pages) with certain operations that we have to complete?

I have found that shading adds a depth to an otherwise quite ugly and unremarkable drawing, making it more memorable.

It is user friendly because it is completely personalized and unique to each person and each person's way of picturing and representing something in life. For example, the word evolution might remind me of the Poptropica game in the Jurassic age while it reminds someone else of straight biology.

As when listening to bio lectures or reading a textbook. NOTE TAKING STRATEGY!!!

Reminds me of when I was first learning how to talk/read. There would be a picture right above a letter in the alphabet book. The concept of word pictures is simply combining what was originally separated into two lines

Reminds me of an outline: Things that are more important are more to the left of the paper (bigger broader main points) and the points should be listed from order of importance/relevance. Good things to know when pre-writing!

Is this why flowcharts are said to eliminate miscommunication in the manufacturing process? (connection to CIM)

Doodles should not just be random sketches or even organized sketches like in IED. They should be calculated drawings, markings, or even vague representations of something you feel is important. This could be a great note taking strategy!

This reminds me of the sketchnotes Mr. Roche gave us the option of doing. Did he know that the brain better perceives and understands through pictures? Is this how he planned on making the standard laboratory procedure stick in our brains?

If organic chemistry is supposed to weed out those who are cut out for the sciences and those who are not, why do people with great abstract minds and logical plans for the future say that they failed at it?
