CLS Faculty Receive Exceptional Teaching Score – Fall 2023

Cognitive and Learning Sciences’ faculty Amber Bennett, Destaney Sauls, and Elizabeth Veinott have been identified as three of only 80 instructors who received an exceptional “Average of 7 Dimensions” student evaluation score for fall semester 2023.

Each of their scores were in the top 10% of similarly sized sections university-wide that had at least a 50% response rate and a minimum of 5 responses. Only 106 sections out of more than 1,452 surveyed were rated this highly by students.

Andrew Storer, Interim Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, recently congratulated the faculty stating, “On behalf of Michigan Tech’s students, I want you to know that I am aware of your accomplishment. I know that exceptional teaching takes a great deal of time and effort, and I appreciate your commitment to the success of our students. Providing excellent learning opportunities is an important part of Michigan Tech’s mission.”
