Solving Research Problems Creatively Prerequisites
This two-hour course is intended to help you develop and feel more confident in your ability to think creatively. Participants are taken through a systematic two-part creative thinking process, exploring divergent and convergent thinking, as well as the 'rules' of brainstorming.
Outcomes:
- Understand that creativity is a thinking process comprising divergent and convergent thinking
- Practice strategies to improve your divergent and convergent thinking
- Know a systematic creative thinking strategy for improving creative problem-solving
All graduate students and postdoctoral researchers / research staff.
Postdoctoral researchers and research staff are welcome to attend this course, but may prefer to attend or follow up with Postdocs: Sustaining and Expanding your Creativity, which is tailored specifically to the postdoctoral experience.
Further details regarding eligibility criteria are available here.
All participants should bring to the course a challenge / problem that they are facing; one for which some creative thinking may prove useful. You will apply the tools of creativity to the challenge. The challenge / problem does not necessarily have to be from your research.
