Concept maps from module 2 (microscopy) and module 6 (energy metabolism) were grouped into types (examples of each are given in Figures 2 and 3, respectively), and the number of students producing maps of each type tabulated. Data for 2006 are given both for the individual maps (Individual) as well as for the total number of individuals supporting consensus maps (Groups).
