An important goal in higher education is to inspire leadership, independence, and creativity. Mastery of the subject matter needs to be contextualized in the development of the social and societal skills that will advance and create new ideas. In order for the student’s work to have this higher value, it needs to integrate all of these goals. Isolated academic exercises (traditional “homework”) are limited in what they can accomplish. The more authentic a task is (“real work”), the better it can capture the complexity of real world situations.
