Creative assignments allow me to take an interdisciplinary approach and offer students from a wide range of backgrounds, including the social sciences, humanities, and STEM fields, the opportunity to develop and apply skillsets to real-world problem-solving. Students develop compelling stories that can be shared with diverse audiences for greater impact than a traditional academic paper.
