Category | Subcategory | Findings | Cites |
|---|---|---|---|
Creativity workshop | Strengths | The workshop was useful for choosing and delimiting project topics and for group cohesion. Students felt that these sessions promoted more freedom than tutored sessions. The techniques considered most useful were idea generation and evaluation techniques (Brainstorming, SWOT). | New ideas emerged during the workshop. The free environment helped unite the group. Brainstorming was useful for organizing our ideas. |
Weaknesses | Timing of the sessions, need for a tutor in each group, too many techniques. | I think that fewer techniques would be better for this kind of workshop. |
