There are two items I've chosen from this particular course. The first is my biography paper and presentation on a "creative person" and the second is a paper I wrote on creativity and aging. The power point presentation on Richard Feynman was indeed a labor of love! It took hours - many happy hours - to place each audio and visual element in its proper place and to rehearse timings and animation. For a while after this I nurtured delusions of going into film-making! In the end, it was enough that I enjoyed the experience and learned a lot from it.
Apologies that the sound files do not work. You can download the presentation and then view the Notes at the bottom of the slides for a transcript of each sound file.
The second item is my final paper on creativity and aging. This item hopefully shows that I was gaining experience with sustained academic writing. This paper is useful for its description of my research method and for the fact that I was able to mold it into a document with a defined beginning, middle, and end.
