Creativity models and theories: This week we're looking at how we are evaluating creativity;
associations test v. Torrance tests. And we'll look at creativity experts such as Osborne, Epstein,
Amabile, and Sternberg.
We've been working on actively developing our own creativity through this course; as noted, the
course focuses on becoming more creative, not solely on learning about creativity. This week's
lectures discuss a little more about creativity; the early development of creativity testing; the
recognition of environmental stimulus, and the difference between the big "C" creativity of world
renown genius and the little "c" of everyday creativity.
Review of the materials submitted for the DSD will be posted as soon as possible. The Originality
Assessment Engine is up and running and should be part of your regular routine to practice your

while still challenging your creativity.
