Recognition for outstanding teaching assistants
The Mathematicians and Physicists Association (VMP) has awarded the 2017 VMP Assistant Award to six student teaching assistants from the Departments of Mathematics and Physics.
Students of the Bachelor's degree programmes in mathematics and physics have honoured the following assistants:
- Vera Baumgartner
- Nicholas Dykeman
- Andreas Mono
- Julian Widmer
- Leander Wyss
- David Zhu
The award ceremony took place on the occasion of the end-of-term reception on 5 December 2017.
The Assistant Award was first launched in 2013 by the student association VMP as a recognition of the assistant's performance in giving exercise classes.
Every Spring and Autumn Semester the students determine the winners from a pool of two hundred student teaching assistants. The students assess their teaching assistants in terms of satisfaction with the lessons, correction of the exercises and how competently they handle questions.
