Nomination Criteria
Howard consistently earned outstanding evaluations from his classes, and established a standard for teaching excellence. Students loved Howard because he was a great instructor who loved teaching. He was not a teacher by profession -- he took on the role over and above his full-time job with ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Computing and Communication Services (now called Information Technology Services). Howard brought to his classes his own enthusiasm, his respect for the students, and his appreciation for the humanity in the science. Nominees should demonstrate the same love and enthusiasm for teaching, care for students, and outstanding feedback from students as Howard did.
Nomination Procedure
Each year the undergraduate students in the Department of Computing and Information Science nominate and choose an instructor to receive the Howard Staveley Teaching Award.
Selection Process
The Howard Staveley Teaching Award is presented during the Undergraduate Reception which is held at the end of every academic year. The recipient's name is engraved on the "Howard Staveley Teaching Award" plaque which is displayed in a glass case located in the foyer on the 5th floor of Goodwin Hall.
Presentation of Award
The award is presented at a student/faculty gathering near the end of the winter term. This is done in conjunction with the teaching assistant award.
