Last week I was again honored to receive a teaching recognition from the Center for Teaching and Learning at Georgia tech – the Student Recognition of Excellence in Teaching: Class of 1934 CIOS Honor Roll. This time for the Summer 2021.
This particular award was only given to instructors who have an 70% response rate and have top scores on certain items on the CIOS. The CIOS is an anonymous survey that students voluntarily complete for their classes at the end of the semester. The 1934 Honor Roll award acknowledges instructors who have earned excellent scores on questions related to instructor’s respect and concern for students, level of enthusiasm about teaching the course, and ability to stimulate interest in the subject matter.
I could not have been given this award unless most of my students last semester filled out the survey, and students gave high enough ratings for me to be considered for the award.
So I want to thank every one of my 160 Summer 2021 students my five teaching assistants who all together made the course as an enjoyable experience for me to teach and the course to run as smoothly as it could possibly have run.
