The UniJobs Lecturer of the Year Award: Highlighting and rewarding excellence in Australia’s teaching staff
Established in 2007 and now in its fourth year, the UniJobs Lecturer of the Year Award aims to reward the efforts of outstanding teaching or teachers.
Nominated by staff and students, the award is a true reflection on the attitudes and feelings of university communities, and is a real indication of teaching staff that have gone above and beyond in their efforts to create a better learning environment.
Both staff and students can nominate, for the 2010 award at www.lectureroftheyear.com.au
Over 65,000 votes were cast last year from every university in Australia.
UniJobs Director Jarrod Kanizay believes that the number of votes reflects the admiration that both students and peers feel about their university.
“One can compare the award to a Gallup poll, it plumbs the depths of student sentiment, and those who attract the greatest commendation are rewarded for their efforts”.
Mr Kanizay also believes that in the spirit of healthy competition, the award helps bring university departments together.
“Using last year’s award as an example, we had calls coming in from the various university faculties asking who was nominated. Everyone involved was exceptionally keen to support their colleagues”.
“Also we found that for students it was an effective way for them to have their voices heard. The majority of votes come from the students themselves, and they play a powerful role in choosing the final top 10 finalists”.
Nominations close on November 30th.
The results will be published on www.lectureroftheyear.com.au and on Australia’s University News Website, www.CampusDaily.com.au, a proud sponsor of the UniJobs Lecturer of the Year Award.
Nominations and more details of the award including past results for each university can be accessed online at www.lectureroftheyear.com.au

"Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you."
HA!
