The School of Economics would like to congratulate Kavitha Baskaran on winning the Teaching Excellence Award for two years in a row at the 2015 Tutor Awards Ceremony.
The Teaching Excellence Award is presented to the tutor who obtains the highest weighted score in the University of Queensland Student Evaluations of Tutors (SETutor) questionnaire each year.
Kavitha was honoured to win the award for a second time and said the secret to her success is having a genuine interest in helping students and hard work.
“It is extremely rewarding to know that my students were appreciative of my efforts and that the university acknowledges teaching excellence.”
“To me, one of the most important aspects in becoming an effective tutor is putting in the hours to prepare engaging course content.”
“As a tutor there is nothing more satisfying than making a positive difference to a student’s learning experience”
At the ceremony, the School also awarded 24 Distinguished Teaching Awards to tutors who obtained a weighted score of at least 4.50 out of 5.00 in the SETutor evaluation.
