Hello, all,
I am pleased to announce that the Siegel Teaching Prize for 2011 goes
to very recent graduate, Peter Doshi. The Siegel Teaching Prize was
established four years ago to recognize HASTS graduate students who
have excelled as instructors of MIT undergraduates. It carries an
award of $2500.
In the words of the selection committee:
“We are happy to award the Siegel Teaching Prize to graduate student
Peter Doshi. In Spring 2011, in Neuroscience and Society, Peter
excelled. He dealt with more than the usual number of administrative
and logistical issues. He also received outstanding evaluations from
recitation students for his infectious enthusiasm on the subject
matter and his ability to engage the students while encouraging them
to bring their own experiences and ideas to the discussion. Perhaps
most importantly he responded winningly to the call of duty when his
supervising professor was confined to bed-rest, effectively taking on
double the duties for which he had initially signed-on.
Congratulations Peter!!”
Thanks also to Sherry Turkle and Hanna Rose Shell who sat on the Prize
Committee.
Congratulations again to Peter!
best,
Dave
