Teaching Awards

Samantha Burton, Art History                                                                                                                     Art History 373g, History and Theory of Photography

Professor Burton taught me how photography documents history and shapes how we think.  It was interesting to learn the in-depth history of photography through a different lens.

Zuzanna Fuchs, Linguistics                                                                                                                           General Education Seminar 130g, Language Contact and Language Acquisition

I struggled early on in this course, but I was able to receive feedback from Professor Fuchs outside of class to help me do better.  What I learned here will be helpful in other aspects of my life.

Adam Gilbert, Thornton School of Music
Music 115gp, Western Music as Sounding History

I really enjoyed Professor Gilbert’s class!  I went in being skeptical of western music, but I really grew to enjoy the music we learned about.  I have a new appreciation for live performances of music as well.

Morgan Polikoff, Rossier School of Education
General Education Seminar 131g, Educational Access and Opportunity — From Cradle to College

Out of all my classes I have taken freshman year, this was the one I enjoyed and learned the most especially about policies not widely known. I wish I could take more classes like this and keep learning more.

Dennis Shen, Marshall School of Business
Business Administration 310g, Applied Business Statistics

Professor Shen teaches in a way that kept me engaged and wanting to learn more about statistics, which is something that I never thought I’d ever say!

Steven Swerdlow, Political Science and International Relations
Political Science 248gw, Human Rights

Dr. Swerdlow is a great professor with a lot of passion and energy that inspires a willingness to fight for human rights worldwide in even the most stubborn of people.

Katherine Brichacek, Viterbi Writing Program
Writing 340, Advanced Writing

Dr. Brichacek allowed us to take ownership of our growth as a writer by creating individualized learning to suit our own personal goals.  This enabled me to be more reflective and aware of my own strengths and weaknesses as a writer.

Andrew De Silva, Dornsife Writing Program
Writing 150, Writing and Critical Reasoning – Thematic Approaches

I thought that I had nothing left to learn but Professor De Silva instantly proved me wrong. He provided the class with outside readings that not only inspired a better writing style but made me think about the world I live in.

Yance Wyatt, Dornsife Writing Program
Writing 340, Advanced Writing

I can say that everything I learned here will not go to waste.  I felt myself grow as a writer not only in assembling more creative ideas but in revising with a critical lens.  I will forever cherish my experiences from this class.

Robert Drummond, Classics
Classics 280g, Classical Mythology in Art and Literature

 Rather than just a required hour outside of lecture, our discussion periods felt super helpful in understanding the course content.  Robert used multiple teaching methods to ensure that everyone was learning together.

Jacob Gizamba, Spatial Sciences
Spatial Sciences 165Lgw, Sustainability Science in the City

Thank you so much, Jacob, for being so helpful and considerate throughout the semester! Your clarification and explanations were super beneficial, always clear and concise. You made this course memorable!

Alexia Orengo Green, History
History 109g, The Latin American Experience

I loved going to discussion because I could always tell how passionate Alexia is about the subject!  Her passion and the care that she puts into each session always made me go back and reflect about the historical topics discussed.  

Di Wang, East Asian Languages and Cultures
East Asian Languages and Cultures 130g, Introduction to East Asian Ethical Thought

I am deeply appreciative of Di’s exceptional assistance and unwavering commitment to clarifying concepts and supporting me with my papers.  In just my second semester here, Di has proven to be among the most outstanding TAs I’ve encountered.

Elayne Zhou, Psychology
Psychology 100Lg, Introduction to Psychology

I thoroughly enjoyed this section.  Elayne’s teaching style was effective and promoted diverse opinions.  I learned a lot and I felt that the assignments reflected the course content well.  Thanks for a great semester!
