Advocates of “un-essays” (student-generated research projects that can take almost any form, except a traditional written essay) argue that it enables students to demonstrate knowledge in unique, individualized ways, encouraging more active engagement with content, and expands academic inclusion by offering students an unlimited number of ways to successfully complete scholarly research. Importantly, in today’s era of generative AI, a well-designed un-essay assignment can effectively motivate students to utilize only their own individual and unique ideas. This workshop gives an overview of un-essay assignments, including visual examples of completed undergraduate un-essays, and a brainstorming session for how you can incorporate an un-essay assignment into your course planning.
