The Class of 1940 Course Survey Effectiveness Award recognizes faculty members with exceptional scores and response rates on the Course-Instructor Opinion Survey (CIOS). Courses under consideration for this award were taught during Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.

The criteria for selection for the award included a CIOS response rate of 85% and above for Fall and/or Spring semesters and:

• The top 12 rankings (ties broken by response rate) of a class size of at least 40 students with a CIOS score for the question which reads “Overall, this instructor is an effective teacher” of at least 4.9; and
• The top 28 rankings (ties broken by response rate) of a class size of at least 15 students and a CIOS score for the same question of at least 4.9, or a 5 (or greater) credit course with a size of at least 10 and a CIOS score for the same question of at least 4.

Dan Amsterdam and Doug Flamming won this award for 2018. They will receive a prize and be recognized in the program for Celebrating Teaching Day in March. Congrats!
