Subject: Re: Student nominated Teacher Awards
Dear list
UCL has had these for several years now (http://uclu.org/representation/education/student-choice-teaching-awards).
The entire thing is student-led and run.
However, this year's winners were virtually all men and were not representative generally of UCL's very international mix, so people were worrying about bias in evaluation processes (essentially, students favouring white men) -- I don't think it's controversial to say that happens.
UCL has no role in it apart from organising the awards (along with our Provost's Teaching Awards, which is self-nomination and judged by a panel from across the university) and funding the prizes -- why don't you ask your students to come up with their own criteria?;)
Interested to hear what others think so do please do the usual collation.
Cheers
Jason Davies
