Abstract: Through tutoring students to preview，arranging homework and collecting feedback

in teaching the course of introduction to laser technology，the teacher let students freely choose

whether to use mind map or not to complete homework and gradually guided students to try to use

it to summarize knowledge points. These measures stimulated students’interest in applying

mind map as a learning tool，and also made students’enthusiasm improved in learning the course of

introduction to laser technology. It is also found that the mode of mind map plus notes not only

took advantages of mind map to help clarify knowledge context，but also remedied the shortcomings

that mind map could not show the specific content of knowledge points with notes.

Therefore，this mode is more suitable for the study of physics subjects when compared with the

simple mind map mode.

Key words: mind map, notes, university physics, teaching practice
