For 30-40 pages of reading, assign one page of writing due the day of class discussion. This must not summarize or evaluate, but instead discuss what it made the students think about in their own lives. These are higher quality and fun to read and grade than traditional writing assignments. Dr. Larry Speck discusses how to engage students in class readings with these brief writing assignments that demand divergent thinking.

Help students see that the toughest problems are solved by people who do not think like everyone else.

America's economic stature in the global marketplace depends on our creativity and innovation. Educating the next generation to maximize creative thinking requires stimulating the whole brain-encouraging both right brain and left brain thinking. It demands the opposite of "teach to the test" education and acknowledges the importance of hybridization in breeding new ideas. Especially at our top universities, we must go beyond focused training for specific jobs and help create graduates who can think broadly and solve problems creatively. Larry Speck has been a faculty member at UT Austin since 1975, and served as Dean of the School of Architecture 1992-2001. His professional work includes such Texas landmarks as Austin Bergstrom International Airport, Austin Convention Center (both phases) and the architecture for Discovery Green, a twelve-acre park in downtown Houston. Over the last 25 years his design work has won 40 national design awards, 23 state or regional design awards and 51 local design awards. As well as being a prolific designer and builder, Larry has also contributed significantly to the development of ideas and direction in his field. He is the 2011 recipient of the ACSA/AIA Topaz Medallion given to one individual in North America each year in recognition of their contribution to excellence in architectural education.
