    Week 1: Introduction Help

    Week 1: February 26 March 4

    Welcome to Creative Problem Solving! This week we will be covering: a general overview + defining
    creativity, course methods and developing your 'creativity muscles', and a photo workshop covering how to
    capture the best photos (and video) for your homework assignments. The main class lectures will be posted each
    week under "lectures."

    Each week there will also be creative exercises for you to do, posted under "activities and exercises." This is
    where you'll also find PDFs, links and other supporting material for the topics covered in the lecture videos. Your
    exercise for this week is to post an introduction: tell us a bit about yourself and where you live.

    The core of your homework and participation in this course will be a series of 'do something different' activities.
    Each week will include a video introduction of the week's assignment, an assignment submission page for you to
    upload your photos and written description of each assignment, and an evaluation form, where you will critique
    each other and yourself. You'll be asked to 'upvote' the projects you think are the strongest, the most creative; the
    best will be displayed in the forums and discussed in a live review session. This will be your opportunity to gain
    extra credit and share your ideas with the entire class. All videos, forums and assignment submissions will be
    posted under the section "DSD."

    There will also be 3 quizzes in weeks 2, 4, and 6 on provided readings and videos. All content related to this can
    be found under "Quizzes" and "Recommended Reading and Video Material."

    Homework, due Tuesday, March 4, 23:59 -006 (11:59 PM CST): Post your introduction, complete DSD 1 [Eat],
    read the Newsweek article.
