Student satisfaction with my teaching is very high for the courses that I contribute to. As well as positive feedback about course-related learning, I also often receive feedback from students that my research-led teaching and passion for my discipline area has inspired them in their own study and career paths:
“Your lecture on the vestibular system…made me interested in the sensory system and is one of the reasons I decided to do a Medicine Honours in the TNF” (verbal communication from a Year 4 UNSW Medicine student, 2021).
“I think you’ll be proud and excited to know, I’m revisiting an idea I’d had about pursuing Clinical Audiology” (email from NEUR3211 student who interned in the Translational Neuroscience Facility, School of Biomedical Sciences, in 2020 under my mentorship).
“Thank you for creating what was an engaging and worthwhile Honours program. I feel I’ve grown immensely this year thanks to the balance of research, presentation opportunities, academic writing, exposure to various cutting-edge neuroscience topics, and tight-knit cohort, which the program afforded.” (email from a 2022 Neuroscience Honours student).
