Contract Faculty CoP: Teaching with Creative Assignments

Multi-access

As educators in this new academic context in which A.I. has become a concern for some disciplines that expect students to learn critical thinking and originality, creative assignments can help to support this kind of learning. In this hybrid session of the Contract Faculty Community of Practice, we will explore how we can teach with creative projects. We invite attendees to share their creative assignments for classes, and to discuss some of the learning outcomes for their students. The session facilitators will share some of their assignments and concrete suggestions, but much of this session will focus on discussion and idea-sharing.

Facilitators:

• Sarika Bose, Lecturer, Department of English Language and Literatures
• Judy Chan, PhD. Faculty Associate, Faculty Liaison (Land and Food Systems
