Creativity is not something you learn but the way something is done.

ŸIn class: The Change and Creativity class takes place Thursdays 4th periods in room 302 at Keio University(Hiyoshi Campus). The class is leaded by the instructor Robert Tobin. The course is based in class activities done in group work. Mr. Tobin guides the class with a lecture that explains the aspects of creativity. The class assignments are done by different groups in different ways. By presenting the group work the students are able to see how people did things in different ways. Sometimes this stimulate people for others it gives new discoveries in how things are done and fresh views.


ŸGuest Speakers: The students of this course gave the opportunity to have guest speakers. This we may say is being lucky(fortunate), because many of the Guest Speakers explain the way to their success. By listening to the personalities the students learn the way Creativity was useful in the road to their success.
For more detail please see the HP under "Guest Speakers"


ŸPrivate Time: Mr. Tobin has advised the students to carry a notebook that is called the "Idea Notebook". This notebook is a scratch pad that the students carry with them in their daily life in order to write in it what ever comes into mind. New ideas are everywhere, they come out without minding the place nor time. So with in this "Idea Notebook" the students have the chance keep a record of new discoveries, ideas or anything that came into mind. By doing so nothing gets left behind.


ŸPortfolios: The students in the "Change and Creativity" course are designated to create a portfolio. In this portfolio the students present the activities that have been done in their own way. The activities may concern the group work done in class or outer class activities done with friends, groups or even alone. The contents of this portfolio is free. This way the students are challenged to express their Creativity by presenting the activities they have done.
