Unlocking Student Creativity with the Un-Essay
Petra Jelinek (Anthropology)

The un-essay is an assessment strategy that challenges students to interact with course content in meaningful ways and demonstrate their creativity, as well as their understanding of concepts. This progressive pedagogy fosters creativity, strengthens memory retention, and leads to greater learning outcomes. Petra will discuss the un-essay, share a few examples of student work, and offer a rubric to guide student success in this assignment.

Join us ONLINE on the first Thursdays of the month from 12pm-1pm as we welcome new faculty, new stories, and new ways of thinking about the art of teaching. For more information, or to suggest a speaker for the series, please contact: Ava Wolf at arwolf@illinois.edu.
