Off Script: Students Take the Lead on Creative Media Education

This panel discussion between current creative media production students and professors will talk about what works in the classroom. Students will lead the conversation, sharing what assignments, teaching methods, and feedback have pushed them to do their best creative work, and the professors will respond and discuss how to put these ideas into practice. The discussion will cover what kinds of projects get students excited, how critique sessions can be helpful instead of discouraging, creating environments where creativity thrives, and mentoring approaches that help students find their own creative voice. Moderator: Ralph Beliveau, University of Oklahoma Panelists: Scott Hodgson, University of Oklahoma Traci Easley Williams, University of Oklahoma Molly Horn, University of Oklahoma Keaton Schallhorn, University of Oklahoma Nathan Pooler, University of Oklahoma Kate Needham, University of Oklahoma
