The purpose of the Graduate School Teaching Awards is to recognize outstanding contributions made to teaching by graduate students at NDSU. One award of $1000 will be made each year in each college in which graduate students perform significant classroom or laboratory teaching responsibilities.
- The graduate student must be in good academic standing and currently enrolled at NDSU.
- The student must have been primarily responsible for the instruction of a course or a laboratory section taught at NDSU while the student was enrolled in a graduate program at NDSU.
- Students may not win the award more than once.
- Each college will form a selection committee to determine the award winner for that college. The selection committee membership will be approved by the Dean of the Academic College and the Graduate Dean.
- Submit nominations to the Academic College to which your department belongs no later than March 7, 2008.
- Students will be nominated by the department in which they completed their teaching duties.
- Each department/program may nominate one individual for the award.
- The nomination packet will include:
- A letter from the department which describes the outstanding instructional contributions made by the student.
- A description of the teaching experiences of the nominee. This should include course names and the responsibilities of the nominee for each course listed.
- A two-page (double spaced) statement written by the nominee which describes his or her teaching philosophy.
- Supplemental documentation including syllabi or instruction plans.
- The results of formative and summative evaluations collected in the courses or labs for which the student was primary instructor.
