How to Have Big Ideas

Author
  • William H. Yeaton (Florida State University)

Abstract

Ideas are the primary currency of academic success. They can be elaborated upon to yield publications and grants, and high-quality ideas can result in tenure. Unfortunately, mechanisms for producing high quality ideas are underexplored, and ways of generating and maintaining good ideas are seldom a direct goal of university instruction.

Keywords: big ideas, identification of big ideas, creation of big ideas, maintenance of big ideas, social dimensions of big ideas
