TADD 1800 Creativity in Action (2 credits)
Creativity in Action is a course that explores an understanding of creativity and innovation, including leading theorists and the generation of ideas. Questions investigated include who is creative, and why? What does it mean to be creative? Is creativity a general attribute, or is it discipline-specific? Students will learn how creative juices flow and how such creative flow materializes into meaningful ideas. Sure, some ideas are wacky, and some are slightly humorous, but we are looking to develop creativity into solving revolutionary challenges. This course values creativity in action, which goes beyond merely risk-taking and solving problems. [Core Curriculum Goal Area 6]
