| IS 161 introduces students to the skills and strategies of creative thinking. Designed for students in all majors, the course will examine creativity as a fundamental component for innovation and success in any field, from art to science, technology to business. We will explore the creative process from various theoretical perspectives as well as the influences of education, culture and the environment on creative thinking. Creativity will be seen as a natural process that not only allows for greater adaptability, idea generation and problem solving, but which also adds an increased dimension of richness and meaning to our lives. Students will have the opportunity to develop and apply these skills in real world contexts, and to experience the value of creativity in developing a well rounded, flexible and adaptive approach to an increasingly complex world. |
