[Bioundgrd] Prizes for Excellence in Teaching 2005

[Janice Chang]

Dear Biology graduate and undergraduate students:

The School of Science is soliciting nominations for the School of 
Science Teaching Prize for Graduate Education and Teaching Prize for 
Undergraduate Education for the 2004-2005 academic year.

The undergraduate prize recognizes excellence in teaching 
undergraduate subjects in the School.  The selection committee wishes 
to emphasize that nominations will be welcomed for outstanding 
teaching not only in the subjects with large enrollments (usually 
those that satisfy the General Institute Requirements in Science), 
but also in the upper level science subjects which tend to be less 
heavily enrolled.

The graduate prize recognizes excellence in the teaching of graduate 
students in the School.  Preference will be given to nominees who 
teach mainstream subjects in which the fundamental principles of the 
relevant fields are presented.  Such courses typically provide the 
basis for advanced education and research in the fields of interest 
and prepare the students for a professional career.

Nominations for both awards can be made by faculty and students to 
any member of the selection committee by Friday, February 18, 2005. 
Each nomination should be accompanied by two letters in support of 
the nomination.  Additional letters of support will also be welcomed. 
The members of the committee are:

Professor Hazel Sive, WI-401C, sive at wi.mit.edu
Professor Kip Hodges, 54-1120, kvhodges at mit.edu
Professor Barton Zwiebach, 6-303, zwiebach at MITLNS.MIT.EDU

Sincerely,

Janice Chang
