Mark Mixer of the Mathematics Department for teaching the largest course in that department, "Mathematical Thinking." His important curriculum development work included helping to develop a packet of required course materials to supplement the text, to introduce the major themes of the course, and give the course a greater coherenece. Mark was also designated by the Department as a Master Tutor, a leadership position in recognition of his special talents as a teacher.
Teaching: Humanities, Social & Behavorial SciencesStanislav Vysotsky of the Sociology Department is one of the best teaching assistants Jack Levin and Judy Perrolle have ever had. His lecture on white power music over several decades was brilliant and a guest lecture on online hate groups was comparable to what one would hear at an American Sociological Assocation meeting. He has consistently received excellent student evaluations on par with those of the Department's most popular full time faculty.
