I think it is great that this course was taught with the inclusion of international and local students spanning a variety of disciplines. The different views of this variety of students definitely brought a whole new vision to the projects that they were assigned.
Metrics for Measuring Ideation Effectiveness - Shah, et al.
It was interesting to see how the ideation process was scientifically organized in this article. I found it helpful to have the ideation process broken up into the many categories and sub categories and given a reason why they all existed. I appreciate the extent to which the author delved into this topic but I find it pointless to quantify the effectiveness of a process where the end result is extremely subjective. A certain ideation process may result in a fewer or greater number of ideas but it is difficult to award one ideation process more validity over another.
Creativity as a Design Criterion - Christiaans
Another article where the end result discovers that creativity is a very difficult and subjective topic to quantify. Depending on who they conducted their experiment on, the results varied because of different levels of involvement and understanding. An object may appear creative to some and to others may appear to be another average run-of-the-mill object.
