Brookes Union Teaching Awards
The annual Brookes Union Teaching Awards celebrate excellence in teaching across the University and are an opportunity for students to recognise members of staff who have enhanced their learning experience, or gone above and beyond the call of duty.
In 2018 over 180 nominations were received for members of academic and support staff. Dr Mark Cain, Reader and Programme Lead for Philosophy and Religion won the ‘Most Inspirational Lecturer’ Award.
Nominations praised Mark for the level of help and support he provides. He was recognised for actively taking on feedback and adapting classes to help those who might be struggling, without affecting those who are excelling.
“Mark consistently expresses an enthusiasm, passion and enjoyment for teaching and his subject. He is also always willing to sit down and talk through things, whether it be academically related or to do with personal matters."
