Department of Statistics Teaching Assistant Award
Each year the Department of Statistics gives out three of these awards to graduate students who have either lectured in a course or lead a tutorial throughout at least one term. The basis for the award is the quality of their work and this is measured by student evaluation and by faculty input. These awards reflect the importance that the Department of Statistics places on undergraduate teaching and the importance of the acquisition of good teaching skills as part of graduate student training.
