Hello Rebekka! How do you feel about receiving the IT Faculty Pedagogical Prize?
– I am super grateful and honored to have received this award. I'd like to thank the teaching assistants who were a crucial support for the group activities and gave great feedback to the students. The course wouldn't have been as well received without their hard work.
– I'm also thankful to the students who nominated me and participated very actively in the course. Such a flipped-classroom course really requires students who are willing to join the discussions, and I enjoyed seeing how active the students were in the course.
