The Bok Center for Teaching and Learning awarded the following CMES affiliates Certificates of Distinction in Teaching. The award recipients achieved a score of 4.5 or above in the Q Evaluations (previously known as the CUE Guide).

Undergraduate and graduate students are asked to rate classes on a scale of 1 to 5 and to evaluate professors’ pedagogy, curriculum, and other areas such as website, workload, difficulty, competitiveness, pace, and the level of assignments. The results are published in the Q Guide. The Bok Center uses the Q evaluation data to award the Harvard University Certificate of Distinction in Teaching to outstanding teaching fellows, teaching assistants, preceptors, and lecturers at a special reception each semester.

The Q Guide serves as an indispensable tool for Harvard students during the course selection process by supplementing other sources of information such as the Courses of Instruction, academic advisors, and shopping period visits to classes.

Congratulations to all!
