Teacher of the year 2022
Mats Trondman
“He is nice, good at teaching, responsive and discusses well with his students. Every thought and question is met with enthusiasm and acknowledged by Mats, and all his lectures feel rewarding. ”
"Mats possesses boundless amounts of knowledge about his subject and life in general. A reliable, friendly man with a genuine interest in his students and teaching. The whole class wishes he could teach all our courses. We are glad that he did not retire before we had the chance to be lectured by him. "
Cecilia Holmqvist
“Very pedagogical. Wants you to succeed and shows it by always being there if you need help or do not understand something. ”
“She spends so much time with her students and does everything to explain physics in an understandable way. She is not afraid to change previous teachers' approaches to make it easier for students. She's the best teacher I've had. ”
Teacher of the year 2021
Emma Ricknell
"She is a fantastic educator and the teacher who kept a high class and incredible clarity in all the courses I had her in."
“"A teacher who enables the student to reach its best possible potential, and more should follow her path, regarding all aspects such as lectures, seminars and teaching as a whole."
"Simply an outstanding teacher. World class!"
Arvid Pohl
"With an engaging and knowledgeable way of teaching Astronomical science, he has aroused my interest in Astronomy so much that I acquired my own telescope to be able to look at stars and planets."
He possesses a great knowledge of a complex subject at the same time as he explains something difficult in a pedagogical and comprehensible way. Arvid is always equally committed to all lectures and gives the little extra that makes the lessons extremely fun and interesting. In addition to a passionate interest which is shown in the lecture, he is always happy, clear in his reasoning, helpful and careful that all students should have a chance to understand the subject.
Teacher of the year 2020
Tobias Andersson-Gidlund
Tobias has shown very good pedagogical ability, constantly shown great commitment and put an enormous amount of time and energy into teaching. He also constantly tries to improve the program and its quality. Furthermore, Tobias has also explained how the content of the courses affects and how it is relevant in working life. No other teacher has done the same.
Tobbe has been a neat gem during my three years! He has taken on a great deal of responsibility both as a program manager, but also as a teacher in many programs. When he has to explain things and take examples, he always does so much better than expected. For example, in a programming course, he explained the relationship between classes using well-developed Star Wars examples.
Tobbe is truly an incredible teacher for everyone who studies at FTK and its IT program!
Lars Fonseca
Lasse is a very skilled and committed teacher who really wants the students to succeed. I have not learned so much in any other course, as I did during his. He was really good at teaching and at the same time challenged us in the classroom so that we would develop. In addition, he was always helpful with questions and was quick to answer. Despite the distance conversion, he handled the course incredibly well.
He has been incredibly understanding when something has gone wrong and made the course roll well even though the distance learning created problems.
Lasse is skilled, very pedagogical, an absolutely fantastic teacher simply!
Teacher of the year 2019
Ludwig Gelot
”Genom sin kreativitet och öppenhet har den här läraren fått sina studenter att känna sig både hörda och sedda. Med hjälp av undervisningen har studenterna fått en större förståelse för hur ett teoretiskt ämne kan användas i praktiken, och de har fått möjlighet att utvecklas utifrån sina egna förutsättningar”.
Per Bruhn
Teacher of the year 2018
Arvid Pohl
Teacher of the year 2016
Staffan Andersson
Staffan är en god pedagog som kan skapa intresse och engagemang för sitt ämne. Genom hans skickliga undervisningsteknik, oavsett föreläsningsspråk, inspirerar han sina studenter att upptäcka det egna intresset för mer kunskap.
Jörgen Bruhn
Jørgen är en handledare som kännetecknas av sin tillgänglighet, lyhördhet och förmågan att inspirera sina doktorander till att nå högre höjder. Jørgen har också en holistisk syn på utbildningsprocessen och skapar därmed goda förutsättningar för sina forskarstudenters framtid, långt bortom disputationen. Hans engagemang för doktoranders arbetsmiljö är pricken över I:et som gör det extra trevligt för Linnéstudenterna att rekommendera Jørgen Bruhn till utmärkelsen för framstående handledare.
