CREATIVE ASSIGNMENTS

Creative Assignments (CA) encourage students to think in innovative ways as they demonstrate their learning. Thinking creatively involves combining or synthesizing information or course materials in new ways and is characterized by “a high degree of innovation, divergent thinking, and risk-taking”. It is associated with imagination and originality, and additional characteristics include: being open to new ideas and perspectives, believing alternatives exist, withholding judgment, generating multiple approaches to problems, and trying new ways to generate ideas. Creative thinking is considered an important skill alongside critical thinking in tackling contemporary problems. Critical thinking allows students to evaluate the information presented to them while creative thinking is a process that allows students to generate new ideas and innovate.

The benefits of creative assignments include:

• Improved student engagement, motivation, and satisfaction and beyond learning of course content.
• Promotes innovation, academic integrity, student self-awareness / metacognition
