I have heard of SCAMPER but did not really understand the process of using it for creative thinking as as providing a structure for brainstorming.

interviewers ask questions to learn more about you and to find out things other than what may be on your application or resume. Interviewers may ask about your course selection to learn more about your personality, interests and goals. This question may help them gauge your interest in or passion for a particular subject or field.
