Join“Creative Final Projects” in Mathematics and Science: An Educational Instrument for Maximizing Students' Learning and Understanding
In a final class project, art and communications students taking science and mathematics courses at Chicago’s Columbia College and the Illinois Institute of Art produce a significant creative work using a media of their own choosing. In this article, the authors explain the approach, discuss various assessment techniques and the underlying philosophy behind student final projects, and give examples of final projects that successfully integrate various areas of science and mathematics.
