are invited to nominate faculty members for the 2015 School of Science
Teaching Prizes. These are given for both Undergraduate and Graduate
Education.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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).<br><br>Nomination
letters from faculty members or students for either award are welcome.
Nominations are EASY AND QUICK TO SUBMIT: simply fill out the <a href="http://science.mit.edu/teaching-prize-nomination-form" target="_blank">short online nomination form</a> by the deadline on <b>May 29, 2015</b>.
Although one strong letter is sufficient, additional letters of support
are useful. You may want to get fellow students or colleagues to submit
supporting nomination for your candidate. You can use one form or
multiple forms to do this.<br><br>Your nominations are really important!
Please help us recognize teaching excellence in Science and at MIT. For
additional information please contact: Annie Lee (<a href="mailto:ayl@mit.edu" target="_blank">ayl@mit.edu</a>, 253-5951).<br><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)"><b>11.
