Week 2: Discuss Brainstorming in General


 * 1) What is your favorite type of brainstorming?
 * 2) * After doing some research on the many different kinds of brainstorming, I seemed to favor "Rapid Ideation". When using rapid ideation, you and your group, or you (if alone) write down any and every idea that comes to mind regarding the major topic. Then after the time you allotted runs out, you go around the group sharing and further deciding which topic to flesh out and go with. -Melani L.
 * 3) Why is it the most effective for you?
 * 4) * This tends to work best for me, because typically I am alone and have a hard time deciding on a topic. If I write all the possibilities that come to mind, it gives me a great start with many options. After I write it all down, I tend to go through them one by one, explaining my ideas to my fiancé. Once we go through them all, he usually explains to me which I seem the most passionate about and things I could further explain / go with. - Melani L.
 * 5) * In a group, this helps us share our thoughts and then work as a team to further explain and study the topic we decide on. - Melani L.
 * 6) What is your least favorite type of brainstorming and why?
 * 7) * Anything that involves diagrams, which unfortunately I do a lot of before actually coding a project. Luckily I don't really have to use them when writing. - Melani L.
