the student perceptions of their benefits. First, the paper addresses the importance of creativity
development for today's students followed by a discussion of ways and reasons fiction can be
used outside of its traditional contexts. Next, the creative writing assignment is introduced
followed by a presentation of evaluation results from two sections of graduate students who
completed the assignment.
