Anonymous end-of-semester evaluation of CrCrTh 602 online, Spring 2019 (Witkowski)
The responses go to the Critical & Creative Thinking Program Director and will not be shown to the instructor until after grades are submitted. Note also that all questions require a response to prevent inadvertent submission of blank evaluations. This evaluation has multiple audiences and multiple goals:

You, a student in the course, to reflect on how you approach learning in courses (especially Q1)
Instructor, to improve the course (esp. Qs 2-4)
Superiors, to monitor the instructor’s performance (esp. Qs 3-5)
Future students, to decide if they want to take the course and how to approach it (Q4 only)
For this last purpose and audience, a compilation of responses to Q4 will be linked to the information on the public CCT wiki for the course.

2) use the Creative Education Foundation problem-solving model to redefine a personal problem, other practical problems, and, working in a team, generate an invention
3) demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of one creative individual by presenting an empathic roletaking presentation, by writing a five page paper, and by responding to three peer presentations with comments written in role
4) demonstrate metacognitive skill by writing two reflective essays (Week 6, Week 12) in which the student assesses his/her knowledge about creativity, skill in creative problem solving, and competence with presented creative problem-solving strategies and activities
5) demonstrate competence using at least three of the creative problem solving techniques presented: brainstorming, The Creative Education Foundation problem definition/problem solving model, and SCAMPER transformation techniques in presented tasks
6) demonstrate the application of acquired course knowledge and skill and newly researched knowledge to a topic or area of endeavor by developing and presenting a Virtual Museum Exhibit and by writing a five page paper describing the project's evolution and connection to course concepts [for students in the Critical and Creative Thinking program, this assignment and Reflective Essays 1 and 2 are suitable for inclusion in Reflective Practice Portfolio.]

Please make comments that help the instructor develop the course in the future and that enable some third party appreciate the course’s strengths and weaknesses. Among other things you might comment on the overall content and progression of classes, the session activities, and the use of mentors to support the learning in the course. *
