 +  * a good concept map should have only one instance of each concept, which was not the rule in some Novak'​s works, sometimes due to a too large number of links connecting a certain concept
 +  * sometimes it is useful to suggest a way of reading a concept map (for example top to bottom or bottom to top)
  
 Another important property of concept maps is that learning through adding new concept to them is inherently **meaningful learning**, since it establishes clear connections with the existing knowledge. **Rote learning** on the other hand is the result of **lack of established connections** to prior knowledge and forgetting of the learned information in 4-6 weeks(([[http://​uwf.edu/​jgould/​ConceptMappingIntro.pdf|Novak,​ J.
