Reflection- Mind - Mapping 

 Challenge and selection 

 Mind mapping is a very innovative tool . As I teach students of engineering background , this tool   always helps me to motivate students to develop creative solution of any problem . The basic   challenge with the engineering students was the approach , they always think in a traditional   approach in which they are habitual to use their left side of the brain . For designing of any   engineering solution , usually , students were dependent on the past data/ past engineering   solutions/ literature that give them traditional thinking solutions . I use mind mapping techniques   frequently with the students and colleagues for research purposes . I have used sticky notes   technique with the students by giving them a problem and asked for identifying the pattern and   theme lying inside the diversified data . This technique is very helpful to communicate diversified   views on a particular problem by the individuals . 

 Application 

 I would like to share a mind - mapping technique used by the engineering students of our   university . I have given a problem “ how to make online education more interesting and   engaging ” to the students to develop creative solutions .   Students were divided into different   groups of five members each . Each student has given time ( 30 minutes ) to explore the   information or data from the partner / students of other groups ( survey ) or from the internet . Then ,   the students have to write their views on sticky notes and place them on the whiteboard . Every   student had written their views and placed them on the board . After the inspection by me , I told   to identify the pattern or theme from the various sticky notes and the theme/ pattern should be   written on the top as the title from other colored sticky notes and put all the relevant sticky notes   below that title so that we can identify the various patterns from the different views given by the   students . Students were very excited and we recorded the highest participation in the session due   to the adoption of a new methodology . Students were given different views from which the   pattern was identified to brainstorm . 

 Insight and approach 

 The learning I got from conducting this activity is that the students have ideas and creative minds   to develop any creative solution but we need to motivate them for a systematic approach to   develop creative solutions like mind mapping . As we have used sticky notes to share the various   maybe even wild views related to problems which given them some pattern to think for a   possible creative solution , this kind of mind mapping technique should be used to develop an out   of the box solutions . 

 Apart from sticky notes which I have used randomly , I came to know the different techniques of   mind mapping from this course , now I will be more confident to use the various mind mapping   techniques to communicate the views of individuals and make students use most of these   techniques .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
