In this episode, UIW professor of philosophy Paul Lewis discusses creating thought-provoking assignments. Noting that university courses have many goals ranging from information transfer to encouraging the practice of thinking, Lewis focuses on that latter aspect of teaching. He suggests that we carefully craft assignments that invite students to make personal yet thoughtful connections to course material. Lewis is a leader of UIW’s “Core Activation Project,” and provides examples of assignments from that effort.
