An unscientific observation while grading my 200-level class: I got much more original thinking out of my students from an assignment that asked them to make a 2 minute TikTok-style video "explainer" than I did out of the final research paper.
Papers clustered on a single "safe" solution - media literacy - while explainers covered a much wider range of ideas. The video was worth 20% of the grade, paper worth 30% - considering reversing their significance next year.
