Harris, J. (2008). Developing a language for assessing creativity: a taxonomy to support student learning and assessment.
Defining 'creativity' is a complex challenge, and as such assessing creativity can be difficult. Producing anything involves creativity, from an essay to a piece of art, and as such creativity is central to academic work in any discipline.
The above article argues for a need to develop a language to help us assess creativity with rigour and fairness, and proposes a taxonomy to help tutors move beyond intuition. How do you approach the assessment of creativity? What criteria do you use to compare creative work, and what are your thoughts about the taxonomy in the article?
