Awards in the School for 2010
May 2010
Distinguished Achievement Award - Teacher of the Year 2010
Has been awarded to Dr Danielle George in part for her activities as First Year Tutor and also for her delivery of taught courses. Danielle has introduced ELVIS into the undergraduate teaching laboratory both for her own first year course, Electronic Circuit Design I, and other course units.
Danielle has recently taken up the post of Director of Teaching in the School.
Teaching Excellence
Peter R Green has received a Teaching Excellence Award from the University. I think that you all know why Peter is a worthy recipient of this prestigious award and it is summed up in the words of one of his students:
“He has demonstrated outstanding commitment to his students by enthusing them in his lectures where he uses interactive and hands-on teaching methods. He treats each student individually, accounting for the different cultures and backgrounds, and is a very good listener. Teachers like Peter are worthy of special commendation as they are the primary reason that I enjoyed the course and achieved results that exceeded my expectations.”
