Evaluating Concept Maps
Accuracy and Thoroughness. Are the concepts and relationships correct? Are important concepts missing? Are misconceptions apparent?
Organization. Is the concept map laid out in a way that higher order relationships are apparent and easy to follow? Does it have a title?
Appearance. Is the assignment done with care showing attention to details such as spelling and penmanship? Is it neat and orderly or is it chaotic and messy?
Creativity. Are there unusual elements that aid communication or stimulate interest without being distracting?
