Provost’s College Award for Outstanding Teaching
Dr. Carly Priebe (PhD), sessional lecturer, College of Kinesiology
“I am most inspired when students get excited about learning. Before exams we’ll often play review games (e.g., baseball with ‘single,’ ‘double,’ ‘triple,’ and ‘home run’ questions). I will pause and ask students if they want more questions and it’s great to see their enthusiasm for more review. I feel the same inspiration when a student responds to feedback on an assignment and shows improvement throughout the term. I have a heart and passion for mentorship. Seeing a student put their learning throughout the term together with a well-executed final presentation or exam is the most encouraging experience.”
