Teaching Excellence Award

Post by Conlan »

Hey there everyone, you probably don't know me but I'm Peter McCormack's son Conlan, today my father received a Teaching Excellence Award @ St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. I would just like to say that I am very proud of him! If ya have any time and would like to wish Peter congrats post your responses here!

Here is some text posted on http://www.stu.ca:

Part-Time Teaching Excellence Award

Professor Peter McCormack was recognized with the 2008 Part-Time Teaching Excellence Award. He was chosen for the award because of his devotion to his students and his involvement in the greater community. McCormack has been teaching in the Psychology and Gerontology Departments for 26 years and students consistently rank his teaching at or above his department’s and the university’s average.

“His students report that his courses are interesting and informative, and they especially appreciate the way he incorporates examples from his clinical practice into his teaching. His classes are always filled to capacity, his course evaluations are solid, and we feel fortunate to have him as a member of our teaching faculty,” said Psychology Department Chair Dr. Kim Fenwick.

“I try to use my knowledge of psychology by offering a teaching strategy that will serve best the students I teach. At the very same time, I too am a student of pedagogy, searching for a new and more effective means to reach students whose learning difficulties are not always transparent and easily understood,” said McCormack.

A richly, deserved award I am sure. You are an outstanding individual, Peter, and obviously it shows in your professional work. This same care and dedication you have shown in teaching has carried over to this very Forum you created.

Thanks Conlan. Love Dad :o

Thanks everyone. It is hard to hide these things with the net and a son with a computer.

So, you are a psychologist? That's cool. Perhaps you see us all through. :)
