College Teaching Excellence Awards 2016

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce the recipients of the College Teaching Excellence Awards (CTEA) 2016. They are:

CB is committed to fostering a culture of teaching excellence as well as a caring learning environment for our students and has established this teaching award scheme to recognize the very best teachers in the College. The Selection Committee commended the quality of applications received in this round and that the winning entries demonstrated teaching work of exemplary professional practice:

Dr Yulin Fang is an enthusiastic teacher who emphasizes the application of knowledge to practice. His unique “Case-Based Collective Reflection” encourages graduate students to reflect on their acquired knowledge in a professional context. Yulin has written many Asia-based cases and distributed them through publishers such as Ivey and IMD, thus contributing to the global repertoire of business cases. His cases are often enriched by multimedia resources.

 

Dr Vikas Kakkar is an inspiring teacher who encourages an inquiry-based approach to learning. DEC elements are incorporated in each and every of his courses. Vikas puts students at the centre of the learning process, encouraging and empowering them to discover knowledge to the fullest extent possible. He has demonstrated an ability to motivate active learning by engaging students in interactive discussions, even in large classes.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to thank the CTEA Selection Committee comprising Dr Wang Weiquan (Chair), Professor Maris Martinsons and Dr Raymond Wong, and all colleagues for participating in the award scheme, and for helping build the vibrant teaching culture in the College that we so much value. We welcome your participation again next year!

Last but not least, a special note of thanks goes to our benefactor Jenny Chan for her generous donation which has made the establishment of this teaching excellence award possible.
