Hey!

Hope everyone is doing well. I am sure everyone is going through the end of term deadline stress syndrome. Don’t worry, stay calm and make sure you are keeping up with the workload. Be sure to manage your time well and to start organizing yourselves for the upcoming exams.

In this week’s issue, I would like to inform everyone about the Engineering Society Teaching Excellence Award.  The purpose of this award, as the name suggests, is to reward teaching excellence shown by the Engineering Faculty and Staff. Every term, EngSoc recognizes professors, lecturers and laboratory instructors who have shown exceptional contributions towards the learning of undergraduate students.

This is how it works: students nominate the instructors, so if you feel that any of your instructors have shown commitment and dedication towards the academic success of the class please nominate them. When sending your nomination, please be sure to include your name, program, term of study, instructor’s name, course the instructor taught and a description outlining why you feel the instructor deserves the award.

This is a great way to recognize the instructors who are determined to help their students academically. This is the chance for students to promote good and effective teaching and to help other instructors realize that the student body acknowledges good teaching skills.

If you have any questions or would like to nominate an instructor, feel free to contact me at vpeducation.b@engsoc.uwaterloo.ca.
