Teaching Shout-Out Nominations

Nazmun Ratna

You are "Mother Lion" to your postgraduate students. Fair, transparent and caring for them as a person and future professional, making sure that they deliver quality work and are competent. 

Victoria Rosin

Victoria is kind, competent and quick. She is an awesome advisor with who it is so good to talk teaching, brainstorm ideas or get reassurance. I appreciate the fact that she has a doctorate in education, stood herself in the classroom and knows what she is doing. You support not only practical teaching but also research. You help so many of us. 

Chloe Dunne

Chloe is such a bright and bubbly lecturer and helped significantly in our recent [assessment], going over and above for our class even in after hours. Genuinely reduced our stress levels and made something which was quite daunting suddenly be almost enjoyable to work on. She also handled a large class very well, especially considering she's a new lecturer! Overall really enjoyed our time being taught by her :)

Mark Wilson

For sharing fantastic work experience combination of defense force, Christian ministry/church leadership & academia. 

Puneet Vatsa

He is a great teacher. … Provides students strong logic to understand the main theory of courses. … Puneet always gives help when we need it.

David Dean

There is no better teacher, collaborator and mentor ... Advice on how to survive in the system, climbing the career ladder, being a more approachable colleague and supervisor to my own post-graduate students, are some of the good outcomes. 

Peter Almond

Thank you for your dedication to your students and for bringing out our highest potential! 

Pablo Gregorini

His ability to lecture, offer support and help with assignments while going through tremendous personal strife is admirable.

Hiraina Tangiora

Your approachable and your kind personality made it easy to interact with you. ... the cultural aspects you bring into lectures and interaction are valuable. You provide a safe place to ask for cultural advice and help. You reduce fears and reservation actively. ... You help to facilitate acceptance and change organically.

Anh Le

Anh explains the workings first for the whole class and then checks the students and helps those who need it individually. Anh has helped me to understand concepts in FINC which I originally found difficult.  When I ask Anh to help me with a question, he teaches me how to apply what we have learned to answer questions. Every student leaves the class learning something valuable. Anh goes above and beyond to help out his students.

Orchard Team

The entire team (Ag, Forestry and Hort) is committed to learning. This demonstrates itself through industry involvement, knowing students by name, line up at our offices. Students speak highly about delivery and individuals. Learning and wellbeing-related research, student-centered delivery, facilitation of experiential learning and learning ambassadorship. In a nutshell: modern land-based teaching preparing students for a career in primary industries.

Jill Rice

You are extremely kind, competent, and foremost always available for staff and students. Students trust you and seek your advice on assignments and budgets. Your friendly personality is well appreciated in lectures, labs, and on tour. Thank you for all you do for us.

Oluwafemi Olajide

Excellent engagement in classes. Provided helpful advice. Made the environment very light when tensed by his witty and advising nature. He needs to be thanked.

Stuart Charters

Stuart Charters is not only a fabulous educator but a leader. He leads the MAC course for Lincoln which has one of the highest postgrad intakes and takes everything in his stride despite how busy he is and the lack of resource available to such an important and high-course demand environment.  I am very proud of the work Stuart undertakes for the university which is helping to put Lincoln on the map.

Faith Jeremiah

Faith works super hard to make sure every lecture/lesson is fun and enjoyable, the way she teaches engages all her students and it helps us retain knowledge and information, she has real world experience unlike many other lecturers and does what she teaches. She is always open for discussion and wants the best for her students, she is easily approachable and is someone us students trust to talk about our assignments with. She gives constructive criticism and also helped me learn a lot. Would recommend her teaching anyone, she is such a professional and made my subject very enjoyable as I learnt heaps.

Gagan Jain, Campbell Kerr and Jill Reader

Orchard team is keeping a low profile! It is great to co-teach with all of you. You work the extra miles without complain! You are transparent, fair and knowledgeable in your delivery. You are helpful and kind towards students and colleagues. You get students ready for industry. And while lot of people think this is the basic requirement, you must be commanded for this. Because you are here for the students - when others are not!

Tim Baird

Was always happy and cheerful in every lecture no matter the time day or weather he kept the same energy every lesson it made the class more enjoyable even if it was 3 hrs. 

Hamish Rennie

We only chatted last yr...he's full of energy, gently steered me making me feel welcome enough to join another Lincoln PG course.
