I am writing to invite you to nominate faculty members for the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>2015 School of Science Teaching Prizes.</b>These are given<b> </b>for both<b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Undergraduate and Graduate
Education.</b><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The Teaching Prize for Undergraduate Education recognizes outstanding teaching in undergraduate subjects with large enrollments (such as those that satisfy the General Institute Requirements in science), as well as in upper-level science subjects with smaller
enrollments.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
For the Teaching Prize for Graduate Education, preference will be given to nominees who teach mainstream subjects in which fundamental principles of the relevant fields are presented. Such courses typically provide the basis for advanced education and research
and prepare students for professional careers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
You can nominate a professor teaching a GIR, a fundamental or more specialized Science subject. Science subjects are Courses 5 (Chemistry), 7 (Biology), 9 (Brain and Cognitive Sciences), 8 (Physics), 12 (Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences) and 18 (Mathematics).<o:p></o:p></div>
