HOPE award winners have unique style
By PENNI CRABTREE and GILLIAN LOGAN Staff Reporters
On instructor transforms his chemistry class into a magic show. Another can turn a dull subject into an interesting one with a flamboyant lecture, while another draws students to him by being personable.
Past HOPE award nominees and winners have been a diverse group of educators, each with a style uniquely his own. But according to several past nominees, style alone won't win an instructor nominations.
THE HOPE AWARD, Honor to the Outstanding Progressive Educator, is given each year to a KU professor for teaching excellence. Only seniors are
allowed to vote for the award's recipient.
"I'm an extrovert in dealing with people, but some students don't like that," Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry and winner of three HOPE awards, said. "Personality, per se, isn't the answer.
"I think that you can develop an esprit de corps between the teacher and the student, you can expect a lot and get a lot from your students."
Bricker said that the most important part of being a good instructor was to know how to teach.
"I had a student this morning say that he was upset about a professor who had to shuffle through his notes whenever he was asked a question, but now I know knowing my subject, and I think some of that rubs off on my students."
ANOTHER INSTRUCTOR, William Balfour, KU professor of physiology and cell biology, said that personality is a function of the brain to do with an instructor being nominated.
"I think that most students think of the award in terms of academic effort," said Rosco. "It's not my impression, but HOPE award is a popular contest."
Balfour, who won the 1980 HOPE award, said that HOPE nortinesnus usually, but not exclusively, for their powers, helped them the ability to treat students as adults.
Although personality may not play a major part in getting the HPO award nomination, nonnimese said that teaching large classes was a factor.
"I don't think that a bad or indifferent teacher will ever get a HOPE award," Bealeilen Benjamin, professor of architecture and a three-dime nominee,
said. "But then, an excellent teacher
who teaches small classes will also
probably never get an award.
JOHN BEST, senior class treasurer
Committee, agreed with Benjamin.
"But that is inherent in the nomination process. The awards have worth because students make an effort to win them, and not because there are 'winner's.'
"A lot of seniors look forward to the HOPE awards, when they're able to recognize someone who influenced them." Best said. "And it's good for the instructors, too, because they know that their efforts are appreciated."
