Outstanding Teaching Awards: Purpose of the Program

The Outstanding Teaching Awards were created in 1993 to highlight the great value the Faculty of Arts and Science places on excellence in teaching. The awards are given annually and the recipients are selected based on nominations by peers and students.

The awards are made on the basis of excellence in teaching and contributions to undergraduate education during the academic year. In evaluating nominees, the following criteria are considered:

• excellence in communications skills
• mastery of subject area
• ability to stimulate critical and analytical thinking in students
• ability to stimulate enthusiasm in students
• innovations and creativity in teaching methods, course design and curriculum development
